http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71130510

The bulk of this collection consists of Rutledge's research for various books, articles, and other writings and projects concerning art and artists mainly in South Carolina. These include an unpublished book on Charleston artist Charles Fraser; an article on Henrietta Johnston; the book "Artists in the Life of Charleston" (published 1949); an unpublished book on American art with Winslow Ames; an article (1968) on George Roupell's drawing entitled "After the Cloth was Removed"; and a proposed exhibition on the connections between English and American art ("Elizabeth I to Elizabeth II"). The largest portion of her research is devoted to an unpublished work entitled "The Visual Arts in South Carolina," a comprehensive history of arts and crafts in South Carolina including painting, architecture, sculpture, furniture making, silver and ironwork, pottery, photography, etc. Many of these notes pertain to South Carolina artists or artists working in South Carolina. There are numerous manuscripts of "VASC"; correspondence and notes regarding its writing and editing, and efforts at publication; and material relating to illustrations including photographs, notes, and captions. Also contains personal and professional correspondence (1930s to 1990s); financial records; papers relating to Rutledge's travels abroad to South America, the Caribbean, England, and elsewhere; biographical data on Rutledge; photographs and notes concerning miniature paintings in South Carolina; slides of artwork and other subjects; and research on early South Carolina history, Middleton family portraits, the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, Sabina Elliott Wells, and St. Philip's Church. St. Philip's Church material includes notes on the church silver, transcripts of vestry minutes (1761-1910), and a scrapbook and labels relating to antique exhibitions held for the benefit of the church.
