content: Largely, Prentiss's exhibition files date from the mid-1970s and give insight into the Boston-area art scene. Some earlier material is also found. Files may include preliminary artworks, correspondence, artist statements, photographs, printed material, and audiovisual recordings. Many exhibition files were arranged into scrapbooks by Prentiss; some have illustrated covers. 

Two videocassettes and one sound reel concern the Ten Talents (1975) at Tufts University. One video is of the opening of the exhibit. The other recording is of a television show entitled Art World with Ben Crosby during which Prentiss's art is shown and described; also found is a transcript. A sound reel is of a radio broadcast from 91.5 WMFO.

Project files contain material for competitions for public artworks in the Boston-area. Found are preliminary artworks and renderings, calls for projects and correspondence, printed material, and agreements.
