Eleanor Tufts was an internationally recognized authority on women artists, as well as a noted art historian, lecturer, and author. She joined the SMU Art History Department in 1974 and was instrumental in the opening of the National Museum for Women in the Arts. The collection primarily reflects her professional life, but it also includes some personal items. Her papers consist of biographical data, correspondence, professional material, essays, articles, student papers, and manuscripts covering the years between 1927 and 1991, with the bulk of the materials from 1970 and 1988. The majority of the material focuses on Dr. Tufts' research in her areas of expertise: women artists, Meléndez, and other Spanish artists.
