content: The files are generally listed by name of person or gallery. Arrangement is alphabetical by name. For large groups of files relating to one collector, folders may also be arranged to reflect the order in which items are listed in the firm's documentation. Material within folders is generally arranged chronologically, although many folders involve detailed material concerning specific works of art, which are arranged by name of artist and work.

This bulk of this series has been scanned with the exception of photographic negatives.

content: The files largely consist of photographs of artwork, along with occasional physical description of the item, biographical research regarding the artist and his works, and provenance information. Names of purchasers and dates of sale are frequently found on the back of photographs of the artwork, although multiple photographs may have conflicting information. Occasional correspondence and printed matter and photocopied material (which accounts for the few early dates in the span dates) are also encountered, along with data regarding the collections of the individual owners.
