http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31770051

Photographic material and research files of interest for art and architectural research into the colonial period in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Photographic prints and negatives, postcards, and occasional reproductions or clippings of images collected by Weismann depict architecture, painting, graphic and minor arts, and sculpture in Mexico, Central America and South America from pre-Conquest to modern times. A few images are from California, New Mexico, and Texas. Extensive card files concern artisans, monuments, paintings, and art objects of colonial New Spain. Some images are originals taken by Weismann; most are copies she obtained from Mexican photographic collections, including that of Guillermo Kahlo at the library of the Instituto Nacional Antropología e Historia. Other photographers contributing to the collection include George Kubler, John McAndrew, Judith Hancock de Sandoval, and commercial photographer Salvador Toscano. Photographic materials date from ca. 1930 to ca. 1979.
