Title: Scrapbooks and register, 1872-1879, 1915-1916, 1921-1922.

Consists of three volumes relating to Clarke's collecting activities. The first volume has the caption title "A Memorandum Book, description of a collection of oil paintings." It includes lists of paintings in Clarke's collection, paintings purchased for other collections, trades and sales from his collection, loans to galleries, and old porcelain. The third volume is a scrapbook kept by Clarke relating to exhibitions of Early American Portraits held by the Union League Club in 1921 and 1922. It contains letters written to and from Clarke about the exhibits, photographs of groups of paintings on display, captions description paintings (probably from exhibit catalogs), and newspaper clippings with reviews of the exhibits. The second volume is a scrapbook about an exhibition and sale of Clarkes collection of beautiful old textiles and antique plates of many nations which took place in January 1916. The scrapbook holds photos of the exhibition itself, pages from the catalog produced for the exhibit or the auction (probably served both functions), and newspaper articles about the exhibit and the sale. The articles about the sale include some prices and the names of some buyers, and one notes that a rug which sold for over $10,000 was used as a movie prop. Nothing indicates who created the scrapbook. The spine label reads T. B. Clarke, 1916, Old Plates and Textiles.

Title: Charles M. Kurtz papers

The Charles M. Kurtz papers measure 27.74 linear feet and date from 1843 to 1990 with the bulk of the material dating from 1884 to 1909. The bulk of the collection consists of chronological correspondence between Kurtz and his family, most notably his wife, friends, colleagues, and business associates. Kurtz's letters are amazingly detailed and document many notable exhibitions, galleries, museums, private collections, as well as cities, people, and events of the period. The letters between Kurtz and his wife are most interesting for their descriptive commentary on late 19th century life and offer a complete picture of Kurtz's activities. Many of Kurtz's letters to Halsey C. Ives can be found in the Halsey C. Ives Papers. Some of the letters in the collection are illustrated. Also found in the collection are Kurtz's diaries, scrapbooks, printed materials, and photographs.
