Series 8: Project Files, 1896-circa 1955 (Boxes 3-8, 10-20, OVs 21-28; Reels 5888-5891; 6.4 linear feet)

Numerous project files for commissioned work and other sculptures arranged chronologically, with undated ones arranged at the beginning of the series. In some instances the name of the project or work of art has been supplied by the processing archivist based on image/s found in the files; known titles of works of art appear in italics. The majority of the project files contain only photographs, but several also contain a variety of documents related to the project, such as correspondence, contracts, financial records, notes, drawings, printed material, and photographs.

Also found within the series are numerous glass plate negatives housed separately, most of which have prints in their respective files and are so noted with a See Also reference. Oversized materials are also housed separately and noted with See Also references.
