Library Records of the Photograph and Slide Librarian, 1974-2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/263068878

This series contains the records of the Photograph and Slide Librarian at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute from 1974-2003. The bulk of this material is from J. Dustin Wees, who held the position from the 1970s through 2000, but some of it is from Elizabeth Kieffer. Kieffer served as slide cataloguer from 1984-2000, and as the Photograph and Slide Librarian from 2000 to 2003. There are several distinct sections within these records but the majority of the material relates to slide acquisitions and departmental business such as hiring and staff salaries. The first and by far the largest section is Wees's correspondence files. This correspondence primarily concerns the purchase, exchange, and conservation of slides but other subjects include requests for letters of recommendation from former employees, job applications, and purchase orders. Correspondence about slides includes letters from staff at other museums, libraries, and galleries. There are some letters in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Russian. Other sections include applications for summer employment, budget preparation files, files of statistics and drafts for the annual report, disbound binders of paid invoices, purchases and gifts, and lists of photographs of artwork from the Courtauld Institute. In addition to these groups of files, there are some unorganized files throughout the series that deal with various departmental and museum issues.
