Dorothy Liebes papers, circa 1850-1973, bulk 1922-1970

This series contains thirty-three scrapbooks compiled by Liebes and her studio staff. The scrapbooks contain primarily printed matter such as news clippings, articles, brochures, and press releases, as well as notable letters, congratulatory telegrams, some interview transcripts, and photographs, many of which are not duplicated elsewhere in the collection. The scrapbooks provide extensive documentation of Liebes's career including her professional achievements, commissions, and studio operations.

At the end of the series are loose scrapbook pages from a volume of photos and printed material with annotations by Liebes, relating to fabrics used in interiors; and loose pages from a volume featuring photographs of and printed material relating to the work of designer Lawrence J. Colwell.

Scrapbooks are arranged chronologically.

The scrapbooks have been digitized in entirety. Some of the scrapbooks have unsorted loose clippings housed with them, many of which appeared to be duplicates. Most of these were not digitized due to condition and the fact that they were similar in content to many of the clippings already digitized in the scrapbooks and/or Series 7: Printed Material.
