Beede, Carl Greenleaf. Papers, 1927-1949.

Title: Papers, 1927-1949.

This collection primarily contains the research notes, photographs, and typed manuscripts of Carl Greenleaf Beede from 1927-1949. Most items relate to a series of articles on early American furniture that Beede wrote for the Christian Science Monitor during the 1920s and 1930s. These include not only numerous photos, but also biographical notes, bibliographies, time-lines, history charts, and correspondence with other scholars and collectors. Some articles and pamphlets by other scholars also form part of the collection. An outline and notes for a book on American furniture is also included. The book was scheduled to contain a chapter on the history of American furniture collecting, collectors, and collections, but it was apparently never published. Beede gathered some of his information by writing to museums and asking them about their collection development policies on early American furniture. He received a number of replies which are also found in the collection.
