content: Series includes two announcements and a pamphlet for the exhibition of Volk's Lincoln portrait With Malice Toward None, as well as eight announcements and catalogs for other exhibitions, including an Exhibition of Paintings by American Artists (1915) at the American Art Gallery, George P. Perkins. Clippings about Volk include reviews of exhibitions and articles about him including a 2008 article in Antiques magazine titled "Douglas  Volk and the Arts and Crafts in Maine," by Arlene M. Palmer. This article is a rich source of information about the history of the Hewnoaks artist colony. Other clippings and miscellaneous material include news articles about Abraham Lincoln, David Lloyd George and the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, and articles on art.

Art-related bulletins and pamphlets include a Bulletin of the Metropolitan Museum of Art  recording the 1915 purchase of Volk's portrait of Felix Adler; two Bulletins of the National Arts Club (1923, 1925); and Volk's menu from a National Academy of Design dinner (1915) signed by attendees.

Of note is a mounted clipping of the London News article which included Volk's 1873 sketch of a church ruined by an earthquake in Italy, the first instance of his work appearing in the press. The clipping is annotated by Volk.

Also found is printed material related to Abraham Lincoln and Leonard Well Volk's monument to Stephen A. Douglas. Two folders of reproductions of artwork, some by other artists, may have been used by Volk as source material.
