content: Correspondence regarding authentications usually comes from clients, museums, galleries, conservators, and appraisers inquiring about the authenticity of artwork. The correspondence includes letters of authenticity, requests that an artwork be authenticated, requests that certificates of authentication be provided, doubts about the authenticity of a work, and reports supporting or denying the authenticity of an object, its date, or conservation work performed on it. These letters often enclose photographs of the work in question. This series occasionally includes correspondence with the artist considered to be the creator or the artwork or correspondence with the artist's representative.

Some of these correspondents are also represented in the Galleries/Museums/Clients subseries.

The correspondence is arranged chronologically.
