Records, 1917-1987.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122492173

The Bayou Bend records trace the formation, administration, and activities of the museum facility known as Bayou Bend from 1960 to the present, as well as Ima Hogg's efforts from the 1920s through the 1960s to build a decorative arts collection for Bayou Bend. Much of the material predates the opening of Bayou Bend in 1966, specifically, the Miscellaneous Subjects and Docent Files, Dealer/Collector Files, and Collections Information. These should be used together with materials from the Archives' other Record Groups for a more complete account of Bayou Bend before 1965/66.
