Records of the Sales Desk, 1955-1971.

This series primarily contains correspondence to and from the museum's sales desk from 1957-1962. At this early point in the museum's history, the sales desk handled a variety of museum issues later associated with other departments such as the museum shop, the library, and the public education department. Correspondence topics represented in these files include bills paid, brochure and catalogue requests, slide loans and reproductions, visitor suggestions, group tours, lost and found items, and general inquiries about the hours and operation of the museum. Much of the correspondence is addressed to or from Mildred Flynn, the sales supervisor. There is also a seemingly unrelated file containgin a legal document naming the executors of Francine Clark's will in 1960.
