scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: This series records George Grey Barnard's personal biography, family genealogy, friends, and associations. Files contain address books; biographical notes written for reference resources such as Who's Who, National Social Blue Book, Cyclopedia of American Biography; family genealogies and family histories; legal documents such as George Grey Barnard's and his wife Edna's last will and testament, and the sale of land to Metropolitan Museum of Art; a diploma belonging to his father Rev. Joseph Barnard; ephemera including membership cards; and a set of unidentified hand prints. Lists of "prospects" include individuals whom Barnard identified as likely clients for his own sculpture, for the medieval art and artifacts that he sold to prominent museums and collectors, or for those likely to offer to contribute financial assistance to aid in the completion of his war memorial, Rainbow Arch. There is also a select list of his funeral attendees and miscellaneous additional data about "the Monastary" (Abbaye).
