content: Administrative records contain general office materials such as phone messages books, notebooks used by staff, exhibition guest books, and business diaries. Records primarily cover the 1980s and 1990s. Business diaries are in day calendar format and contain appointment, contact, and event information. Tucked and stapled into the books are business cards, invitations, announcements, and occasionally correspondence. Each diary is one calendar year and some years have more than one diary while other years are missing. Also found are diaries used only for Holly Solomon Editions; a Holly Solomon Editions stamp on the inside cover page designates the diary's use.

The "Dear Diary" files parallel the business diaries but are not specifically calendar oriented. These diaries were compiled in binders by Holly Solomon, arranged by month and year, and contain a collection of contact information and notes on clients and events. Some of the diaries were maintained for a specific event, such as the Armory Art Fair of 1999. Researchers should note that additional "Dear Diary" materials may be contained within specific event folders found in Series 3: Subject Files. Diary material has been removed from binders into archival folders, but the original order has been maintained.

Exhibition binders found in this series contain layout and artist information for exhibitions in the early 1980s. Also found are boxes of unsorted mail and other documents that were never filed, mail from artists seeking representation, artists' biographies, and a file of Holly's notes.
