Papers, 1915-1926, mainly consisting of the records of the American Artists' Committee of One Hundred, of which Coffin was chairman. There are also some minutes of the Council of the National Academy of Design, 1925-1926. The American Artists' Committee of One Hundred, which worked with the Fraternité des Artistes of Paris, set up a relief fund for the families of French artists serving in the First World War. Much of the material consist of carbon copies and drafts of letters, some in French, some to Lén Bounnat and Edmond Thoumy. They deal with such subjects as contributions, sales of art works to benefit the fund, donations to individual French families and arrangements for individuals or groups to sponsor French orphans, membership, some personal matters, the Allied Bazaar of 1916, and other artists. There are also some clippings and ephemera related to the work of the Committee, as well as some of their blamk stationery.
