Burroughs, Clyde H., 1882-1973. The Clyde H. Burroughs records, 1906-1946.

Title: The Clyde H. Burroughs records, 1906-1946. 1906-1946.

These records contain the administrative correspondence and files of Clyde H. Burroughs in his capacity as secretary of the Arts Commission, director and curator of American art. They cover the daily operation of the museum, activities of the arts commission and Founders Society, acquisitions, exhibitions, programs, employees, and financial matters. Major issues faced by the museum during the period 1910-1946 are also reflected in the files, including the taxpayer's suit of 1914-1915 concerning city funding, transfer of the Detroit Museum of Art collections and property to the city of Detroit in 1919, acquisition of property on Woodward Avenue for a new museum site, construction of the new building, 1922-1927, and the Diego Rivera murals. Related institutions and programs are also covered, principally the Detroit School of Design, the Children's Museum and the World Adventure Series, as well as Burroughs' activities in the Federal Arts Project and the Scarab Club. The Archives of American Art has related material on the Federal Arts Projects and the Scarab Club, as well as a number of letters written to Burroughs by various artists.
