Records: Objects 1928-1993 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84679209

Objects series contains records relating directly to objects in the Museum's collections, including acquisitions, gifts (both accepted and refused), loans, purchases, conservation, exchanges and sales, inventories, and installations. Materials include correspondence, memos, Registrar's forms, lists, copies of accession cards, and visual materials. Many of the records in this series are grouped into larger categories. Installations (1956-1988): this group of records documents the installation of various Asian art galleries, including Indian, Islamic, and Japanese galleries. Most of the materials are comprised of memos, plans, sketches, text for labels and didactics, and notes. Inventories (c.1960-1989): these files contain lists of objects according to their location or type of material. Some of the dates of when the lists were created are unclear, but best efforts have been made to approximate the dates of these lists. Loans in (1936-1993): these records pertain to loans of objects from individuals and institutions. Some of these objects were loaned to the Brooklyn Museum for possible acquisition, exhibition, study, and long-term loan. Loans out (1947-1993): the documents in this group of records refer to loan requests made to the Brooklyn Museum, including completed, refused, or cancelled. Aside from a few general files, the majority of the files are arranged according to the institutions requesting the loans. Loans out documentation includes correspondence; memos; loan request forms, recommendation forms, and agreements forms; facility and conservation reports; and Registrar's forms.
