    Downtown Gallery Records, 1824-1974 bulk 1926-1969

    This site provides access to the papers of Downtown Gallery (New York, N.Y.) in the Archives of American Art that were digitized in 1999 from 167 reels of microfilm. The bulk of the collection has been digitized. [Researchers should note that as the Archives' first microfilm digitization project, the image quality is poor, especially for printed illustrations and photographs, due to the bi-tonal format used at the time.]

    The records of the Downtown Gallery date from 1824 to 1974 (bulk 1926-1969) and measure 109 linear feet. The records present a comprehensive portrait of a significant commercial gallery that operated as a successful business for more than forty years, representing major contemporary American artists and engendering appreciation for early American folk art.
