5 binders and approximately 50 linear feet of material consisting of the administrative files and historical records of the Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts, including membership records, exhibition and class catalogues and other publications, board minutes and quarterly meeting notes, and similar materials. The binders contain the bulk of significant historical materials, including summaries of the organization’s history, original photographs of club social events, exhibition catalogues, events announcements and other printed ephemera, clippings relating to the club and artist members, and correspondence, mostly personal and professional correspondence directed to club member and two-time president Otto Hake. The collection also includes files on several individual artist members of the club, much of it copied from standard biographical sources but also including extracts from club publications and exhibition catalogues. The collection may include items not found in the Palette and Chisel Club Records, 1895-1976, Newberry Library.
