This collection includes exhibition announcements, invitations, catalog covers, form letters, clippings, press releases, and other ephemera concerning Museum activities. The scrapbook concerns Museum exhibitions and other events and many of the sheets were annotated by Blackburn, as well as by Alfred H. Barr, Jr., founding director of the Museum, and Philip Johnson, founding director of the Museum's Department of Architecture. Notations were frequently made as to whom exhibition catalog announcements were sent, as well as quantity, cost, returns, and cash received from catalog sales; in addition there are also general comments on the quality of the printed item, i.e. design, typeface, color, and spatial arrangement. Two additional folders contain press releases and form letters regarding the Art in America radio program series. This series was initiated by the American Federation of the Arts in February 1934. The Museum participated in the program from October 6, 1934 to January 26, 1935, during which time the nationally broadcast series dealt with art in America from 1865 to the present (1934).
