content: This series consists of manuscripts and drafts, research materials, notes, and miscellaneous writings. Writings by Cleve Gray on a wide range of art-related topics include articles, catalog introductions and reviews. Of particular interest are autobiographical notes in the form of a chronology that Nicholas Fox Weber, Gray's biographer, cited as an "autochronology."

Among the writings by other authors are pieces about Cleve Gray including the manuscript of Cleve Gray by Nicholas Fox Weber and records concerning three books edited by Gray, David Smith by David Smith: Sculpture and Writings, Hans Richter, and John Marin. Research material survives for the next volume in the series, Naum Gabo, which was never published. Also included are notes relating to Cleve Gray's translation of A l'Iinfinitif by Marcel Duchamp.

Also found is a small volume of notes and reminiscences about Jackson Pollock by an unidentified author.
