Abstract This collection documents the activities of the Index of American Design, a 

Federal Art Project to preserve and document the development of 

American folk and decorative arts from the colonial period through 1900 

while providing relief work to unemployed artists, researchers, and 

photographers during the Great Depression. Materials consist of 

correspondence, memoranda, reports, lists, data sheets, publications, 

photographs, and color notes.

Historical Note

Created in 1935, the Index of American Design (Index) was a program of the Federal Art Project 

(FAP) under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The Index project had three objectives: 

to employ and maintain the skills of unemployed artists during the depression years; to preserve 

America’s artistic and cultural heritage by documenting the development of arts and crafts 

across the country; and to create a series of portfolios from the Index watercolor renderings that 

would serve as a permanent guide for artists, scholars, and the public. 

The initial idea for the Index project began with discussions between Romana Javitz, head of the 

New York Public Library’s Picture Collection, and artists who were conducting research in the 

collection for WPA projects. Ruth Reeves, a textile designer and painter, was especially interested 

in the idea and proposed it to Frances Pollak, head of Educational Projects for the New York City 

Updated October 2023 National Gallery of Art Archives 1 of 269
Emergency Relief Administration. Pollak agreed that the project would be a productive way to 

provide work relief to commercial artists and asked Reeves to formulate a plan. In August of 1935, 

Reeves presented a draft of the proposed project to the Federal Art Project national staff in 

Washington, DC. 

A pilot project began in New York City shortly after the Washington presentation. In December 

1935, the Index of American Design was organized as a nationwide project. Although its

administration was centralized in Washington, DC, the national project was highly decentralized, 

operating in thirty-seven units in thirty-four states and the District of Columbia. California and 

New York each had two units. Holger Cahill was appointed the national director and Constance 

Rourke served as national editor. Ruth Reeves became the national coordinator and was

succeeded by C. Adolph Glassgold in 1936 and Benjamin Knotts in 1940. A small research staff was 

established in Washington, DC to supplement a larger and existing research staff in New York 

City.

Since state program units could only be created where large numbers of unemployed artists 

needed work relief, not all states had an Index program. Thirty-four states and the District of 

Columbia had Index program units: Alabama, Arizona, California (Northern), California (Southern), 

Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, 

Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New 

Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, New York State, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode 

Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

The Index project primarily recorded American traditional, decorative, popular, and folk art of 

peoples of European descent from the 17th through the 19th century. Some units, however, included 

other cultures in their documentation, such as Spanish missions in Southern California and Shaker 

communities in Massachusetts, New York, Kentucky, and New Hampshire.

The units in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, especially New York City and 

Massachusetts, produced many renderings and conducted extensive research. The New York City 

project was the largest unit and had access to the greatest variety of decorative arts in museums 

and private collections in its surrounding area.

In January 1936, participating units received a preliminary Index manual outlining the objectives 

and execution of the project. Romana Javitz and Phyllis Crawford, research director of the New 

York City project, drew up the research method of documentation guidelines. Units also received 

a supplementary bulletin with instructions on rendering techniques based on the teachings of 

Suzanne Chapman, an artist on the Massachusetts Index project. Individual units were 

responsible for researching and selecting objects under the guidelines as well as for employing 

qualified artists to produce the meticulous watercolor sketches and renderings of the objects.

The Index project carried out its activities for over seven years, employing close to 1,200 artists 

and producing more than 18,000 watercolor renderings. Before publication of the renderings was 

realized, the project came to an end in March 1942 after the United States entered World War II. 

Updated October 2023 National Gallery of Art Archives 2 of 269
When the project closed, the Federal Works Agency, the oversight agency of the WPA,

transferred the Index renderings and the New York City project files to The Metropolitan 

Museum of Art (The Met) in New York. From 1942 to 1943, the museum managed the Index 

records for the federal government. During this period, The Met also mounted exhibitions of the 

renderings in its own galleries, organized twelve traveling exhibitions around the United States, 

and published several booklets on the Index. 

In July 1943, the Federal Works Agency designated the National Gallery of Art, then a little more 

than two years old, as the permanent repository for the Index materials. When the collection 

arrived at the museum in early 1944, it was placed under the supervision of assistant director 

Macgill James. On July 1, 1945, an office was created to oversee the Index renderings and files 

under Erwin O. Christensen and two assistants. Christensen continued his work as the curator of 

the Index until 1960. During this period, the Index renderings were exhibited regularly at the 

National Gallery, throughout the United States, and at a few international venues.

In 1984, the Gallery Archives, a newly created department tasked with maintaining and preserving 

the permanently valuable records of the institution, assumed management of the Index files . The 

watercolor renderings remain in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art within 

the Modern Prints and Drawings department. 

Scope and Content

 

The records of the Index of American Design measure approximately 290 cubic feet and span 

from 1929 to 2018 (with gaps). Most of the materials date from 1936 to 1942 and reference 

material that predates the creation of the Index project is included. The records document a 

unique national project to record American distinct craft tradition. They provide an overview of 

the working process of the project from its early days to its termination and include records 

created after the Index project closed. Comprised primarily of correspondence, research

materials, and photographs, the collection offers a significant resource for information about 

Index project activities as well as a study of American design culture, artisanship, and 

craftsmanship. 

 

Of special interest in the collection are extensive photographs of original objects that were

considered for inclusion in the project and reproductions of renderings that may be the only 

record of the artists’ original works. There are also numerous color notes documenting the artists’ 

working methods as they created the watercolor renderings. In addition, the records include

thousands of data sheets that contain provenance and rare information about the original 

objects from which the watercolors were rendered. 

 

The original project data sheets and photographs have been digitized and are available to 

researchers.

Subgroup and Series Descriptions

Subgroup A Original Project Records 

Original project files consist primarily of administrative and research materials from the New

York City unit, and include some from the Washington, DC headquarters. There are some

research materials and portfolios from a few smaller units included in this group of files. Other

Index-related materials, such as articles and clippings were added subsequently to the files after

the Index was transferred to the Gallery in 1944. 

Thousands of photographic prints and negatives document original objects rendered by the Index 

artists. Photographywas a preliminary step in the production of Index renderings to assist in the 

selection and to aid the artists. The number of photographs varies greatly by category. The New 

York City unit produced a great number of photographs. 

Series A1 New York City Project Files, 1936-1942 [boxes 1-14, oversize boxes 1-3] 

Arranged alphabetically and comprised of 8 cubic feet, this series documents the administrative,

research, and exhibition-related activities of the New York City unit. The New York City unit had

the largest Index project and employed many artists, photographers, and researchers.

Updated October 2023 National Gallery of Art Archives 5 of 269
This series includes assignment sheets, check lists, and data report forms used by the unit to

capture background information on objects in private and public collections for consideration in 

the Indexproject as a preliminary step prior to the object being rendered. The assignment sheets

included information about the object, location, owner, and the assigned artist or photographer.

The check lists documented accession numbers, description, date, and current location of the

objects. The data report sheets describe the object, period, historical style, location, and other

curatorial notes. These document forms are arranged alphabetically by public and private

institution.

This series also contains exhibition files documenting Index materials loaned by the New York

City unit for shows at venues throughout the United States between 1938 and 1942. The

exhibition files include record sheets with a classification number, object name, artist, exhibition

name, and date sent and returned. The files are arranged alphabetically by object classification

category.

In addition, there are permission files that document the approvals from private owners in New

York City for publication and exhibition of the renderings of objects in their collections. They

include signed permission forms, correspondence, and compiled lists. The New York City unit

consulted many owners concerning the use of credit lines to acknowledge ownership.

Of special interest are files relating to unfinished projects relating to pewter, silver, stoneware,

and textiles as well as research files on architecture, carvings, ceramics, costumes, furniture, glass,

silver, and other Index categories. Included in the project and research files are assignment and

data sheets; check lists; newspaper clippings; correspondence; sketches and notes; lists of

craftsmen and collectors; and weekly reports. The Textile Project was performed under the 

auspices of the Index at the request of the principal of Straubenmuller Textile High School. A

group of 44 plates illustrating the various principles of design and the use of different lines in

historic and national costumes is included in this series. 

Series A2 General Files, 1936-1942 [boxes 1-23, oversize boxes 1-7, oversize folder] Arranged 

alphabetically, this series consists of about 15.5 cubic feet of reference and subject files on Indexrelated topics. The reference files include bibliographies; catalogues; collection lists; film strips; 

exhibition materials; Pennsylvania quilt pattern plates; proposed portfolio publications; radio 

scripts; and information on material culture in other countries. 

Of special note are the Index of American Design Manuals which outline the scope, purpose,

organization, method of recording, research, classification, and filing scheme for the Index

projects.

The subject files contain information on a wide variety of topics ranging from advertisements to

the Zoar community. Index categories are often grouped into further subjects with cross

references. After the files were transferred to the National Gallery of Art, supplementary

materials were occasionally added.

Updated October 2023 National Gallery of Art Archives 6 of 269
Series A3 Data Sheets, circa 1936-1942 [approximately 21,800 digital files] 

This series consists of over 21,000 data report sheets (referred to as data sheets) prepared by

Index staff for objects that were considered for inclusion in a unit’s project. Each project used a

standard form (WPA Form 30A) to record information. Staff assigned an Index classification

number to each object data sheet. This key identification information was also assigned to the

watercolor rendering as well as photograph prints and negatives of the object and rendering. The

data sheets are arranged alphabetically by state, Index category, and Index number.

The form lists detailed data about the object, such as the object name or building use, the period

or date of the object or building, historical style, original owner, designer or maker, and the

location where the object was made. The form also documents how the information about the

object or building was verified.

Descriptive information, such as materials, media, color, and finish as well as physical condition

and measurements provide additional details about an object or building. Also noted are the

current location and owner as well as the researcher’s name and the photographer or artists

assigned to photograph or create a watercolor rendering of the object. The amount of

information on a data sheet varies greatly. In some cases, data sheets contain detailed

information while others have only the most basic information.

Of note, not all data sheets resulted in a watercolor rendering and in some cases, the classification

number was reused. On occasion, the Washington, DC office rejected a rendering, and the object

may not have been redrawn. The New York City data sheets are the most extensive and can be 

complicated as there may be more than one artist associated with a rendering but only a single 

data sheet exists for the object.

When the Index materials came to the National Gallery of Art, some renderings did not have

corresponding data sheets. In these instances, Gallery staff prepared a data sheet with basic

information and stamped each data sheet, noting “No Data Sheet was furnished at the time this

rendering was received from The Metropolitan Museum of Art.”

The data sheets have been digitized and are available to researchers. 

Series A4 Color Notes and Preparatory Materials, circa 1936-1942 [boxes 1-12, oversize boxes 

13-33]

There are approximately 15 cubic feet of preliminary materials that artists created before

completing an Index rendering.The color notes illustrate the artists’ preparatory work relating to

color used for rendering and the sketches provide an insight into the artists’ attention to detail.

The renderings show a slightly more completed work but were not considered a quality product

for inclusion in the Index. Some of these materials may be the only record of the original work

created by the artist.

Series A5 Objects and Renderings Photographs, circa 1936-1942 [print boxes 1-271; negative 

boxes 1-125, oversize print boxes 1-10] 

This series containsapproximately 120 cubic feet of photographic prints and negatives of images

of many of the physical objects as well as images of artists’ renderings of the objects. Arranged by

state and category, these images provide insight into the artists’ working methods in the creation 

ofthewatercolor renderings. The categories or classifications are architecture, carving, ceramics,

costume, furniture, glass, metal, miscellaneous, and textiles. The classification number of each

image corresponds to the classification number on the data sheet for the object (state-categoryassigned number). For example, Mass-Ca-138 refers to Massachusetts, carving, 138.

Often there aregaps in thenumbering schemawhich may indicate that there are images missing.

There are also images thatlack unit or classification designations, and they are filed at the end of

each unit and/or category appropriately. In some cases, images may not have any identification 

and they are listed as unidentified.

Images in the architecture category include doorways, railings, attic beams, and churches. The

carvings group include photographs of cigar store Indians, butter molds, and figureheads. In the

ceramics category,there are images ofwaterpitchers, plates, flowerpots,and related objects. The 

costume images contain a variety of clothing attire, such as trapper’s jackets, armitas (chaps),

baby bonnets, and suspenders. Furniture images comprise the largest category and they depict

examples of chairs and tables as well as other items, such as pipe boxes, cribbage boards, and

commodes. More than half of the images in the glass category come from the Pennsylvania unit

and include dishes, bottles, goblets, flasks, and lamps. Metal is another category with many

photographs,and theobjects are subdivided into different types of metals, such as brass, copper,

iron, lead, pewter, silver, tin, and zinc. An array of weathervanes is found in this category along

with hitching posts, andirons, and elegant silver pieces. The miscellaneous category includes

many items that could have been placed in other categories but were assigned to the 

miscellaneous group by the Index project for unknown reasons. Examples of images in this

category include brooches, leather saddles, puppets, flutes, eyeglasses, butter scoops and a

sausage grinder. The textiles group includes samplers, quilts, pocketbooks, coverlets, blankets,

and clothing.

For conservation purposes, negatives are stored separately from the photograph prints.

Approximately 10,000 photographs of the original objects have been digitized and are available

to researchers. 

Series A6 New York City Project – Object Photographs, circa 1936-1942 [print boxes 1-9, 

negative boxes 1-11] 

This series consists of about 9 cubic feet of photographic prints and negatives from the New York

City unit, documenting objects that were considered for the Index project. The materials are 

organized by a photograph or job number with many gaps in the numbering sequence. The 

objects themselves appeared not to be selected for inclusion in the project as Gallery Archives

staff was unable to match the New York City project working prints and negatives to the object

photographs with Index classification number (see Series A5). Gallery Archives staff assigned

Updated October 2023 National Gallery of Art Archives 8 of 269
Index categories to the photographs to facilitate their possible identification and use. For

conservation purposes, negatives are stored separately from the photograph prints. 

Series A7 Vicentini Shaker Villages Photographs, circa 1936-1942 [print boxes 1-6, negative 

boxes 1-6] 

This series consists of 6 cubic feet of photographic prints and negatives by Index photographer

Noel Vicentini and records Shaker communities in New York, New Hampshire, and

Massachusetts. Prints and negatives are designated by the notation V-1, V-2, V-3, and so forth.

The images are organized by V number and location. The photographs document Shaker barns,

equipment, exteriors and interiors of buildings, furniture, and textiles as well as some Shaker

community members.

For conservation purposes, negatives are stored separately from the photograph prints.

Photographs in this series have been digitized and are available to researchers. 

Series A8 California Missions and Related Subjects Photographs, circa 1936-1944 [print boxes 

1-8, negative boxes 1-3, oversize print box 11]

This series contains about 6 cubic feet of photographic prints and negatives of mission sites

primarily in Southern California with two references in Arizona. Images are arranged

alphabetically by mission and duplicate images may also be found in Series D1-D4.

The numbered prints and negatives include supplemental materials that document early life in 

California reproduced from booksand other sources. They are arranged by number from 15 to 213

with many gaps in the sequence.

For conservation purposes, negatives are stored separately from the photograph prints.

Photographs in this series have been digitized and are available to researchers. 

Series A9 Exhibitions, Staff, and Publicity Photographs, circa 1936-1942 [print boxes 1-3, 

negative boxes 1-2, oversize print box 1] 

This series consists of about 1.5 cubic feet of photographic prints and negatives arranged by

exhibitions, staff,and publicity activity. Index exhibition materials are organized by state, city, and

location of the exhibition. Libraries, department stores, and museums offered venues for the 

popular displays. Images of Index staff are grouped by artists, photographers, and supervisors.

The Index Artists at Work images depict artists from various state units rendering objects. Artists

identified in these photographs include Charlotte Angus, E. Boyd Hall, Alf Bruseth, Angelo Bulone,

Max Fernekes,EugeneBartz, Elizabeth Moutal,andVera Van Voris. Also included in this group is a

publicity photo of Ruth Reeves. Two sets of publicity images offer a step-by-step overview of how

the Index worked. The Garret to Gallery images document the process and work involved in 

rendering objects. The photographs follow a script and are arranged according to negative

number from 3821-3 to 3821-94 with gaps in the numbering sequence. The Making of an Index

Drawing is a photographic narrative which follows the creation of an Index rendering from the

selection of an object to the completion of the rendering.

Series A10 Object Card Files, circa 1936-1942 [boxes 1-11] 

Arranged by project and measuring 4 cubic feet,this series contains 3” x 5” and 5” x 8” cards which 

record the project name, object category and assigned object number. They include national file 

cards for twenty states; the Florida Index Project with submissions to the Washington, DC office;

objects returned to states for disposal or redrawing; and groups of cards relating to New York

City, Southern California, Massachusetts, and Michigan. In some cases, there are prints or

sketches accompanying the cards. Most cards are typewritten while some are handwritten. 

Series A11 Research Card Files, circa 1936-1972 [boxes 1-55] 

This series includes 3” x 5” and 5” x 8” cards containing extensive information gathered by Index

staff. The cardsare arranged by category and measure approximately 18 cubic feet. In addition to

the standard Index categories of architecture, carving, ceramics, costume, furniture, glass, metal,

miscellaneous, and textiles, Index researchers recorded information on a wide range of related

topics from colonial days to the end of the 19

th century. 

Series A12 New York City Project - Costume Patterns and Related Files, 1930s–1992 [boxes 1-4] 

The New York City unit of the Index of American Design created an impressive number of 

watercolor renderings and initiated numerous projects to expand the scope of the project. The 

costume patterns are an example of the Index staff designing a project specifically relating to 

New York City. The Museum of the City of New York (MCNY) was the primary, perhaps only, 

location for this project. 

Index photographers created images to document the costumes, and Index artists produced 

watercolor renderings. Staff selected costumes from each decade to make accurate, scaled 

patterns for designated garments. Professional pattern makers created full-size patterns, usually 

in muslin or a similar fabric. They assembled the pieces and compared the pattern to the original 

garment. Staff also made a scaled-down version of each piece and included directions for 

assembling the article of clothing. 

Mostly arranged by Index object number and comprising 3.5 cubic feet, this series consists of 

patterns made in the 1930s of costumes selected by MCNY staff. The patterns are accompanied 

by research notes made by Joy (Joyce) Emery, Professor of Theatre at the University of Rhode 

Island, and Whitney Blausen, then administrator of the Theatre Development Costume 

Collection. 

The materials have been digitized and are available to researchers.

Subgroup B Custodial Institution Records 

The collection of Index renderings and corresponding administrative files was deposited in The 

Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York by the Federal Art Project as it was

concluding its activities in 1942. From 1942 until 1943, The Met mounted exhibitions of the

renderings, organized twelve traveling exhibitions (American Furniture, Glass, and Textile; Circus

and Merry-Go-Round Carvings; Cowboys and Indians; Emblems of Unity and Freedom; Figureheads

and Carvings from American Clipper Ships; I Remember That; The Pioneers; Portraits of Americans; 

Reflections of the American Scene; Shaker Craftsmanship; The Story of Punch; Tobacconists’

Figures and Shop Signs), and published several booklets.

When the Index records and renderings arrived at the National Gallery of Art in 1944, assistant

directorMacgill James supervised the collection untila permanent staff member could take over.

On July 1, 1945, Erwin O. Christensen and two assistants took responsibility when the Gallery

created a new department for the stewardship of the Index files and watercolor renderings.

Christensen continued his work as curator of the Index until 1960. During this period, the Index

renderings were exhibited regularly at the Gallery, throughout the United States, and at a few

international venues. The records document curatorial tasks, loans requests, exhibitions, and

related Index activities. This group of files also includes early materials created by the Index

project and The Met. 

Series B1 The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Management Files, 1941-1944 [boxes 1-3] Arranged 

alphabetically, this series comprises of 1.5 cubic feet of administrative files relating to the transfer of 

the Index to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met). Included are two memoranda to the 

Works Project Administrators at the state level regarding the assembly, inventory, 

documentation, preservation, and disposition of the Index. Files also contain general inquiries 

to Benjamin Knotts at The Met for information about the Index; American folk art in general; 

and photographs of Index materials. Included are lists of slides made by The Met for its lending 

collection, portfolio development materials, a slide proposal, and A Report of the WPA Index of 

American Design from the Time of its Allocation to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 1942. 

Of special interest are exhibition files relating to twelve exhibitions circulated by The Met. Included 

are correspondence arranged alphabetically by institution, brochures, lists of venue bookings, press 

releases, and label text. 

Also included in this series are state files. Between 1942 and 1943, thirty project units sent 

materials to The Met. These files consist of the unit inventory lists, shipping receipts, and 

correspondence between the units and The Met concerning the transfer of materials.

correspondence files and memoranda arranged chronologically from 1945 to 1965; other

correspondence about scholarship in American art; and a file with information on dolls. Of special

interest is a folder with early materials regarding the creation of the Index received from Nina

Collier. Collier worked with Ruth Reeves in the New York City unit as an administrative assistant

and helped Reeves initiate the Index project. 

There are also general subject files about the administration of the Index. Included are several U.S. 

Senate and House legislative bills on the completion of the Index. 

Also included are various inventoriesofthe Index renderings between 1957 and 1960. Of note is a

May 4, 1959 document explaining the organizational system of the 3” x 5” index cards and WPA

data sheets. 

In addition, there are publication files relating to Index projects between 1956 and 1959. These 

files pertain to the preparation and sale of publications and publicity materials, including

newspaper clippings, press releases, brochures, and flyers from 1944 to 1960.

Of special interest are reports dated 1945 and 1963 with information about the Index materials

transferred to the National Gallery of Art from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are lists

of Index renderings, supporting files, and an inventory sent to the Gallery in January 1944. Of note 

is a 1959 report by Christensen that provides information about the history, organization, and

future of the Index as well as Christensen’s travel files between 1959 and 1960 for his Index

activities.

Series B6 National Gallery of Art - Artist Files, circa 1980-2018 [boxes 1-3] 

This series consists of 2 cubic feet of biographical information, photographs, and other materials 

compiled by the National Gallery of Art Modern Prints and DrawingsDepartment staff relating to

Index artists employed between 1935and 1942 under the Works Progress Administration Federal

Art Project. The National Gallery staff initially created these files in the 1980s and materials

continue to be added as relevant information becomes available. 

The files are organized alphabetically by artist's last name. The state in which the artist worked

for the Index project is noted. A general file containing addresses of Index artists, rendering lists

of artists with no individual file, newspaper articles, and other miscellany is at the beginning of the

series.

Of special interest are Joseph Lubrano’s photocopies of his Index work assignment cards for the

New York City project and a 1970 catalog, A Tribute to Suzanne Chapman, noting the

Massachusetts artist’s drawing skills. 

From 1984-1986, Gallery staff members Laurie Weitzenkorn and Charlie Ritchie conducted oral

history interviews with Index artists Lucille Chabot, Suzanne Chapman, David Ellinger, Lucille

Lacoursiere Gauthier, Dorothy Hay Jensen, Elmer R. Kottcamp, Joseph Lubrano, Edward L. Loper, 

and John Matulis. The transcripts and audio recordings to the interviews are available to 

researchers. 

Series B7 National Gallery of Art - Modern Prints and Drawings Department Files, circa 1943–

2015 [boxes 1-5] 

Arranged by subject matter and measuring approximately 2 cubic feet, this series includes

correspondence, research materials, exhibition documentation, and project files relating to the 

National Gallery’s curatorial activities with the Index collection. Mostrecords are from the tenure

of Laurie Weitzenkorn,the staff memberprimarily responsible forthe Index from 1983 to 1987. Of

note is Weitzenkorn’s work to interview Index artists for oral histories. There is some

correspondence from Weitzenkorn’s predecessors,LinaSteele and Lisa Fukui,dating from 1976 to

1981 as well as some materials from her successors and staff who worked with the Index

collection. Earlier dated materials were compiled by staff for reference and research.

Research files, general correspondence, and files on projects undertaken during Weitzenkorn’s

tenure comprise much of this series. Working with Extension Services Office, staff developed

slide sets and posters to reach wider audiences. The Extension Services Office circulated traveling

exhibitions, films, slides, and filmstrip lectures to schools and the public free of charge. Products 

based on the Index became available in National Gallery retail spaces, including an ABC book, a

needlepoint fire screen project, and a variety of post cards and stationery items. These files also

document exhibition activities. The Modern Prints and Drawings staff proposed and organized

exhibitions of Index watercolor renderings at the National Gallery. They also responded to

requests for loans of Index materials to other institutions.
