    Adolph A. Weinman Papers, 1890-1959

    This site provides access to the papers of Adolph A. (Adolph Alexander) Weinman in the Archives of American Art that were digitized in 2005 from 9 reels of microfilm, totalling 12,122 images.

    The collection measures 10.1 linear feet, dates from 1890 to 1959, and documents the career of early twentieth century sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. Found within the papers are scattered biographical materials; project files for Weinman's sculpture and commissions; correspondence with colleagues, friends and family, and letterpress books containing copies of letters concerning specific sculpture commissions; files concerning Weinman's membership in the National Sculpture Society and the National Academy of Design; records concerning works of art held by dealers and in exhibitions and other miscellaneous financial materials; notes and a notebook; writings and speeches by Weinman; sketches and sketchbooks; printed materials; photographs and glass negatives. This material not only reflects the diversity of projects executed by this prolific sculptor, but illustrates the process of creation for many of his more important works.

    Funding for the digitization of the microfilm of this collection was provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art.
