content: Found here are biographical materials that include writings by others, a copy of Bufano's death certificate, and scant information about his career; letters of approval and disapproval of the placement of St. Francis in California; scant writings by Bufano on peace; and a proposal for the San Francisco Art Commission's Open Air Art Exhibit, drafted by Bufano while he was serving as commissioner. The Bulganin letter concerns Bufano's stainless steel statue, A Little Child Shall Lead Them, which Bufano hoped to have installed at the United Nations headquarters in New York as a gift from Russia. Also found here are photographs, negatives, and transparencies of Bufano, his studio, and artwork. Additional photographs can be found in Series 3, Scrapbook 3.
