7.4: Various Projects, 1896, 1926-1958

Subseries consists of files stemming from various research projects, some of which resulted in a finished product (such as articles, books, other published works) and some of which were only planned and never completed, and other research activities, such as speaking engagements and consulting jobs. Files include correspondence, notes, manuscripts, proofs, project proposals, contracts and agreements, call slips, questionnaires, reports, and printed material.

Found are files relating to articles and writings on artists, Arthur Dove, Martin Johnson Heade, Robert Henri, and Jacob Lawrence, among others; on film and photography, including numerous articles for The Complete Photographer, Minicam Photography, Modern Photography, and Photography; her work with Berenice Abbott; and on more general topics, such as "Art and Advertising" and "Why Can't Americans Afford Art?".

There are also files relating to McCausland's published book, Careers in Art (1950); to her work on a selected bibliography on American art, which appeared in Magazine of Art (1946); to her catalog for the Charles Hawthorne exhibition at the Grand Central Art Galleries in 1947; to speaking engagements at the American Artists Congress Symposium in 1940 and the National Convention of the American Association of University Women in 1947; to her applications for Guggenheim fellowships; and to various planned projects, including her long-term study on the artist in America from 1641 to 1941 and her study of the nude in American art.

Also found are files relating to various freelance consulting and editing jobs, including photo-editing Carl Sandburg's book of poems, Poems of the Midwest, assisting as special publications editor for the opening of the Everyday Art Gallery at the Walker Art Center, and conducting a survey of art education for Cooper Union Art School.

Files are arranged alphabetically.
