Title: Blanchard Randall Papers, 1914-1969

The Blanchard Randall Papers measure .4 linear feet and date from 1914 to 1969. They contain correspondence and other materials related to the founding of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Randall's role in its operation, and the construction of the 1929 John Russell Pope building. Frequent correspondents in the Randall Papers include Henry Walters, Thomas C. Corner, A.R.L. Dohme, and John Russell Pope. When faced with a museum-related dilemma, Randall wrote to administrators at other U.S. museums for information and advice. The Papers contain several groups of such letters which shed light not only on the conditions at the BMA, but also on the responding museums. The decision about where the BMA should be built -- Druid Hill Park, Wyman Park or Mount Vernon -- engendered strong opinions from Baltimore's citizens and Randall received many letters as a result. The Papers also contain numerous newspaper clippings, mainly from The Baltimore Sun, that discuss the BMA. A small number of materials created after Randall's death such as his obituary and several gift acknowledgements to Mrs. Harry R. Slack from the BMA are also in the Randall Papers.
