content: Found are biographical materials including a curriculum vitae and an introduction for Simms by R. Akinsola A. Akiwowo in 1968. Correspondence is with Cranbrook Academy of Art, Elizabeth Gassan, Hampton Institute (Hampton University), Joseph Jay, Margaret Lockhart McKelvy, and Toledo Museum of Art, among others. Photographs depict Simms with his art and with groups, likely school classes. Photographs of works of art are of his jewelry, murals, pottery, and sculpture. Printed materials concern the exhibition of Simms's artwork. Also found are pencil sketches, possibly for sculpture that was later produced.
