http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34879817

The Adam Grant papers reflect his career as a studio and commercial artist, the publicity and aclaim he achieved for his art, and the paint-by-number business for which he worked. The papers contain exhibition catalogs, newspaper clippings, photographs of the artist, correspondence, publications associated with the paint-by-number business, and an audio-taped lecture on the artist's life narrated by his wife, Peggy Grant. Also included are original chalk drawings Grant made for the paint-by-number business. The papers would be of use to those interested in the Toledo area art community, the paint-by-number business, and to researchers of the Holocaust.
