Champney papers, 1866-2002.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/646140275

The collection consists of James Wells Champney's sketchbooks, loose sketches, and a small number of letters. Three scrapbooks, presumably maintained by Mr. and Mrs. Champney, contain numerous photographs, newspaper clippings, printed items, and some business and personal correspondence. Elizabeth W. Champney is represented in the collection by several letters from publishers found in the scrapbooks. The remainder of the collection consists of later material, much of it research notes and correspondence done in preparation of a 1965 James Wells Champney exhibition and catalogue, done by the American Studies Group of Deerfield Academy, with the help of Joseph Peter Spang III, curator of the Heritage Foundation.
