    Series 6: Notes and Research Material, 1935-1970 (Boxes 15-16; 0.25 linear ft.)

    This series contains research material on folk art and folk artists in addition to material that appears to be related to Cahill's criticism of William Francis McDonald's book Federal Relief Administration and the Arts (Ohio State University Press, 1969) sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies.

    Notes found here are primarily for The Artists' America, an unpublished book by Cahill, and include typescripts of essay fragments and artist biographies, and lists of artists and works of art showing locations and owners. There are also notes relating to the review of the book The Birth of the American Tradition in Art, by Oskar Hagen, handwritten notes relating to Erwin Panofsky and miscellaneous notes.
