content: Professional files relate to some of Cowles's artwork featured in exhibitions through loan forms, price lists, sales records, and printed material. Documenting his years teaching at R.I.T. are administrative memos, correspondence with colleagues and administrators, awards, exams, and other papers. Items pertaining to his involvement with professional organizations include photographs, correspondence, meeting minutes, and printed material. Of particular interest are meeting minutes from the 1950s related to The Journeymen, a craft organization set up for Rochester artists to sell their work through American House's showroom located in New York City. Also found here is a ledger, records of sales, and receipts for art supplies.
