This collection documents the journalistic career of Boston native Eleanor Spaak, who wrote a design and society column for Home Furnishings Daily from 1965-1968 and also published articles in Newsday and Design Times. In her columns, Spaak wrote about the latest trends in fashion, design, art, and architecture. She also reported on the lives of actors, artists, New York society events, members of European royalty, and other well-known personages. In addition, the collection documents the twelve year run (1980-1992) of Society Rag, a magazine created by Spaak that highlighted philanthropic Bostonians who were active in the city's art and cultural institutions. Other subjects covered are fundraising galas, home decor, museum exhibits, and antiques. Material includes magazines, research notes, photographs, slides, correspondence, and newspaper clippings.
