Abstract: The collection consists of: lecture and research notes; note cards; drafts for outlines and essays; bibliographies and lists of objects; and photographs of Byzantine art and architectural drawings. These items were primarily created by Paul Underwood between 1936 and 1950 and by Albert Mathias Friend, Jr. between 1945 and the mid-1950s. The collection includes Underwood's research papers as a graduate student in the Department of Art and Archeology at Princeton University and as a Junior Fellow and Assistant Professor of Art and Archaeology in the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection. The materials illustrate Underwood's research process for the two major research projects he conducted before becoming the Field Director of the Byzantine Institute in 1950: "The Fountain of Life in Manuscripts of the Gospels," an article published in the Dumbarton Oaks Papers, and the reconstruction of the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. The collection also includes Albert Mathias Friend, Jr.'s research notes related to the Church of the Holy Apostles project and the original reconstruction drawings produced by Underwood, as well as photographs and negatives of the drawings.
