content: Correspondence relates to loans and sales from Church's Japanese art collection, as well as loans and sales of his own artwork, and includes invoices and receipts. Additional correspondence clarifies family genealogical details which is especially significant considering the tendency for Church to be confused with Hudson River School artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900). Artwork includes sketches and a study on panel for a painting. Biographical material includes documents related to Church's membership in the Zoological Society and Union Club, and a certificate related to his service in World War I, as well as photographs of Church and his family. Also found are posthumous records generated by managers of Church's estate.
