Ima Hogg : papers, 1888-1991 (1960s).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/264799319

The Ima Hogg Papers consist largely of correspondence, work orders, receipts, news clippings, financial documents, scrapbooks and photographs, with the bulk of the materials dating to the 1960s. The largest portion of the papers deals with the evolution of her home Bayou Bend, from original house construction and development of gardens, to renovations it underwent in the process of becoming an American decorative arts house museum of national caliber. Correspondence with antique dealers, other collectors and garden and building materials contractors and suppliers comprise the bulk of that portion. Other notable materials in the collection are as follows: intermittent financial records for the years 1938-54, 1961, 1963; sketchbooks providing a glimpse into Miss Ima's youthful days in Austin, Texas; scrapbooks chronicling civic activities such as School Board, Houston Symphony and mental health activities, primarily for the 1930s, 1940s and 1960s; travel itineraries and art postcards indicating interests and influences, the bulk of which are from the 1920s and 1930s; also a small number of Hogg family papers, including typescripts and photocopies of intrafamily correspondence.
