Series consists of biographical notes and resumés, 3 awards, documentation relating to the historic status of Sharrer's Scottsville home, records of sales of Sharrer's paintings, and lists of her paintings and their owners with dimension details.
Material relating to the Honoré Sharrer Donation Collection/Project, consists of a 2007 list of Sharrer's artwork and a binder containing a hardcopy list of paintings, drawings and prints. Images of Sharrer's paintings, most of the drawings and all of the prints are also included in digital format. The artwork cataloged in the binder was in the possession of Perez Zagorin, and Adam Zagorin as of 2007, with the intention that it be lent to public art institutions on a long-term basis. Included in digital format are lists of Sharrer's sketches, and a presentation of Sharrer's drawings for paintings.
Also found are two paintbrushes (sized 00 and 000) used by Sharrer in the 1990s, which are similar to the ones she used to paint Tribute to the American Working People; and a section of the wallpaper taken from the Sharrer home in Vinalhaven, Maine, where the family spent many summers.
Biographical material relating to family members includes a resumé for Madeleine Sharrer, and Perez Zagorin's certificate of service for the United States Department of Commerce.
