The collection is an essentially complete record of Hildebrandt' s life and work. It includes numerous examples of his articles for art magazines and the popular press, as well as copies of his lectures publicizing the work of modern artists and architects. His manuscripts address a broad array of topics relevant to the European avant-garde, including the work of women artists, decorative arts (Der Schmuck) and mural painting. His correspondence includes letters from Europe's leading artists and architects, such as Albers, Archipenko, Arp, Baumeister, Bill, Chagall, Le Corbusier, and Schlemmer. There are personal photographs of the Hildebrandts and their artist friends, as well as research photographs of art and architecture relating to Hans Hildebrandt's writing projects. Lily Hildebrandt's papers include ca. 200 intimate letters from Walter Gropius recounting details of the architect's personal and professional life (1919-1968).
