content: Project/Client Files document Pomerantz's conservation on artwork for individuals, museums, institutions, and private companies. Files typically include preliminary condition reports and recommendations for treatment; agreement and release forms authorizing treatment; receipts for financial transactions, related correspondence, and in some cases photographic material. 

Series includes files for clients for whom Pomerantz did a large volume of conservation work including Leigh Block, Chicago Board of Trade, Nathan Cummings, Edgar W. Garbisch, Nelson Harris, Jerome Hill, International Minerals and Chemical Corporation, Arnold H. Maremont, Milwaukee Art Museum, Ohio Historical Society, United States Postal Service, University of Iowa Museum of Art, and the Wichita Art Museum Ronald P. Murdock Collection.

Art Institute of Chicago files are relatively extensive and include records documenting conservation department activities, committees and budgets, in addition to individual projects conducted by the Institute's conservation department.

Also found here are extensive files documenting Pomerantz's work on the Gamelan collection at the Field Museum of Natural History, including condition reports, background and research material, sound recordings, photographs, and news clippings.

A group of folders at the end of the series documents client projects that remained unfinished when Pomerantz died in 1988.

The series includes 2 sound recordings related to an exhibition on 2 sound tape reels.
