The research files consist of correspondence, printed material, writings, documents, and photographs documenting the art collection and writings of Portland, Oregon collectors Franz and Kathryn Stenzel.

It includes extensive files for artists James Madison Alden, E. S. Paxson, Cleveland Rockwell, and James Gilchrist Swan.

Russell Museum, Eastern Washington State Historical Society, Lewis Ferbraché, Albert Fragley, Michael Harrison, John Howell Books, Thomas S.
