Charles Fayette Olney Papers 1894-1904.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35190269

The papers of Charles Fayette Olney primarily document his life as an art collector, gallery operator, and lecturer. The bulk of this collection is made up of Olney's speech files which shed light on his knowledge of religious art, and his ministry as a Deacon in the Congregational Church. Included is an oversized Gallery Register, 1894- 1904, which documents visitors to Olney's art gallery. This collection provides little detail regarding other aspects of Olney's personal and professional life.
