content: Administrative records document the daily functions of the Area Gallery. Included are vital statistics, which contain member lists, exhibition lists, and artist biographies, and also price lists for exhibitions. Additionally there are daily notes, communicating messages from artists and studio occupants as well as operational issues and an annotated calendar/day planner. Also found are artwork loan contracts and various mail solicitings. The sign-in sheets from April 1962 until 1965 provide signed listings of who visited the gallery daily and for exhibitions. Of note, artist Marcel Duchamp has signed-in for the Gordon Press Show in 1962. In 1963, Italian architect Mario Bellini makes an appearance, as well as Ad Reinhardt and Mark Rothko in 1964. 

The gallery also notes that all sign-in sheets prior to April 1962 have been lost.
