http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/230738178

This collection is primarily an image file (plate file) comprising clippings from published material. Also found are entire articles from publications as well as some photographs, drawings and manuscript material. The file remains as organized by the firm with its own numbered classification scheme. A small group of materials was separated from the main file: photographs and oversized published materials, together with drawings and manuscript materials closely connected with Paul Cret, materials directly related to Cret projects and materials directly related to the Philadelphia region. These may be found interfiled according to the Cret classification numbers at the end of the collection.
