Files relating to the Art Dealers Association of American contain the gallery's registration documents, newspaper advertisements, and some correspondence; and membership documents, meeting minutes, printed material, notes, and correspondence document the gallery's involvement with the International Fine Prints Dealers Association, an association co-founded by Cole. The Works Progress Administration subject file is comprised of correspondence, printed material from auctions and sales, writings on WPA artwork, and some photographs. The series also includes 20 daily planners; art conservation and restoration files, most of which includes letters and invoices from paper conservator Andrea Pitsch; mailing addresses; and a writing by Sylvan Cole titled "Some Observations" about buyers in the commercial print industry.
