Collection consists of Pope's correspondence and other papers, records of the Institute and scrapbooks of clippings. General correspondence, 1921-1951 (bulk from 1920s and 1930s) of Pope concerns his work as an art adviser, trips to Iran, exhibitions of Persian art, writing, lecturing and other professional activities, and personal matters. Some correspondence is with his wife, Dr. Phyllis Ackerman (1893-1977), and relates to their work as Iran specialists. Reprints, manuscripts and typescripts, ca. 1930-1951, of speeches and articles by Pope, Ackerman and others are included, as well as page proofs of the Survey of Persian Art. Also, correspondence, reports, minutes and printed material from political committees with which Pope was involved, and miscellaneous personal and financial papers. Records of the Institute, ca. 1930-1951, consist of correspondence, most of which is Pope's as director; and minutes, financial documents, reports, memoranda, press releases, radio scripts, and printed materials. Topics include exhibitions, conferences, lectures, celebrations, and concerts, as well as the Institute's archives, library, museum, and bookshop. Also covered are archaeological expeditions and anthropological work, fundraising and other financial matters, activities of the School for Asiatic Studies which was part of the Institute, and board and committee business.
