http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/711004169

Collection consists of Nicholson's professional and research papers, photographs of excavations, and documentation of exhibitions curated by Nicholson for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The collection spans almost the entire 20th century, with the bulk of the material dating between 1950 and 1995. A large portion of the collection consists of photographs, negatives, contact sheets and photocopies of Aztec art and sculpture. The photographs were taken at public and private collections in the United States, Europe and Mexico, and were compiled for the UCLA Aztec Archive. Some of these items have related correspondence from curators and colleagues and discuss acquisition, value, location and interpretations of the items. Several letters are in Spanish and German, but the primary language throughout the collection is English. Another large portion of the collection includes working papers and drafts for the Handbook on Middle American Indians, research notes, articles and papers (original drafts and published) written by other scholars and students. .
