content: The bulk of the committees records are made up of correspondence with various committee
members, but it also includes a fair amount of meeting agendas and minutes and some lists and reports. The records of six Trustee committees are contained here: acquisitions (works of art) committee; architecture committee; education committee; executive committee; the Junior Council, which oversaw the Museum Shop and membership campaigns; and the national advisary committee. This
last conmittee was made up of prominent individuals who, although not Gallery Trustees, were sympathetic to its goals. They were responsible for helping to make the Washington Gallery of Modern Art a national institution. Individuals appearing in these files include Katherine Graham, Elizabeth Guiberson, Seymour Knox, Mrs. Arnold Maremont, Roy Neuberger, Janet Wurtzburger, Emily Tremaine, and Richard Ziesler.
