content: Project files date from circa 1970s-2003 and contain correspondence, gouache studies, sketches, photographic material, and printed material related to some of Jaffe's commissions and collaborations including illustrations, murals, and the design of stained glass windows. Most fully documented are Jaffe's stained glass windows for the Chapelle Saint-Jean-l'Evangéliste in Perpignan, titled Funéraria. Records documenting this project include correspondence, Jaffe's proposal for the project with notes and background information, printed material including clippings about Jaffe's work, and photographs. Photographs include images of Jaffe at work on the window designs, the exterior and interior of the chapel, and the finished windows. Also included are images of a related exhibition of Jaffe's drawings and studies of stained glass held in Perpignan at Palais des Congrès. Additional photographs of this commission can be found in Series 4: Photographic Material. There are also scattered postcards from Jean Mauret, who Jaffe worked with on Funéraria, and postcards of reproductions of his and Jaffe's work.
