content: Correspondence, drafts, administrative records, research data, computer printouts, and final reports related to O'Connor's National Endowment sponsored project, Federal Support for the Visual Arts (FSVA).  This project was an analysis to measure the effectiveness of New Deal art projects by tracing the history of the projects, surveying the subsequent careers of participating artists, and measuring the economic value of surviving artworks where possible.  The project's final report was published in 1969 and references documentation collected in Series 1.1-1.3.
