content: Announcements, catalogs, and supporting press coverage of New Deal art exhibitions in the U.S. gathered by O'Connor from the 1960s to the 1990s.  Many of these catalogs provide historical background for the 1943 transfer of art from WPA Federal Art Centers to art institutions across the country.  The series includes additional correspondence and planning documentation for the University of Maryland's Decade of Federal Art Patronage (1966), which was curated by O'Connor.
