Thompson R. Harlow papers, 1939-1992.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/449934982

Thompson R. "Tom" Harlow was associated with CHS for over 40 years. Most of that time was spent as Director and Director Emeritus. Among his papers is a variety of personal and professional correspondence, talks given, and research collected. Some of the material relates to clubs Harlow belonged to, including the Acorn Club and the Columbiad Club. Harlow researched a number of individuals, predominantly painters and engravers, such as Joseph Steward, Gerrit Schipper, William Page, Abel Buell, William Phelps, Daniel Wadsworth, Bernard Romans, and Amos Doolittle. Additionally, Harlow researched John Trumbull's epic poem, M'Fingal and the furniture donated to CHS by Frederick K. Barbour. Research was done on portraits of Lemuel Grosvenor and Eleazar Wheelock, both painted by Joseph Steward. The correspondence was between Harlow and many individuals. One of his long-time correspondents was friend and one-time CHS employee, William Warren. Notes from many of the talks Harlow gave may be found within the collection. Some relate to his research topics, and others are about CHS in general. Slides and photographs (some reproduction) are included.
