scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: This series contains records relating to many aspects of Shaffer's career which are organized by subject, rather than as a chronological file. The series documents three commissions undertaken by Shaffer; exhibitions in which she participated throughout the 1980s and 1990s; inventory lists of artwork, slides and articles written about her; grant and job applications she pursued; teaching appointments including student evaluations; and her design for the Sara Lee Frontrunner Awards. The series also contains several articles written by and about Shaffer, notes and notebooks, plans and sketches for various projects, résumés, a transcript of an interview with Shaffer, and miscellany.

Many of the folders, such as that documenting Shaffer's commission for Huntington Galleries, include sketches in addition to those found in the folder entitled "Plans and Sketches." One folder of material on Shaffer's Czechoslovakian trip, which she recounted in an article for Craft International (found here) includes an illustrated letter from E. Eishih and a print by J. Brychtova and S. Libensky.
