Goodyear, W. H. (William Henry), 1846-1923. Goodyear Archival Collection 1874-1940 1890-1923.

Title: Goodyear Archival Collection 1874-1940 1890-1923.

The Goodyear Archival Collection documents the professional life of the Brooklyn Museum of Art's first Curator of Fine Arts and, according to some, America's first architectural historian. The collection provides information on his curatorial responsibilities at the Museum and traces the progress of his architectural research - research that was partly funded by the Museum but was separate from his role as curator. Materials stem almost exclusively from the years of his tenure at the Brooklyn Museum (1890-1923) although there is some earlier material relating to his scholarly work as well as records created after his death by friends and colleagues regarding posthumous publication of Goodyear's writings and a memorial to Goodyear. There is very little personal information regarding home life and nonprofessional or nonscholarly activities. A few references can be found to family in the collection, such as to his father Charles and his legacy, and obituaries of his wife Kate and cousin Nelson.

Title: Myron Bement Smith collection

The Myron Bement Smith collection consists of two parts, the papers of Myron Bement Smith and his wife Katharine and the Islamic Archives. It contains substantial material about his field research in Italy in the 1920s and his years working on Islamic architecture in Iran in the 1930s. Letters describe the milieu in which he operated in Rochester NY and New York City in the 1920s and early 1930s; the Smiths' life in Iran from 1933 to 1937; and the extensive network of academic and social contacts that Myron and Katharine developed and maintained over his lifetime. The Islamic Archives was a project to which Smith devoted most of his professional life. It includes both original materials, such as his photographs and notes, and items acquired by him from other scholars or experts on Islamic art and architecture. Smith intended the Archives to serve as a resource for scholars interested in the architecture and art of the entire Islamic world although he also included some materials about non-Islamic architecture.
