content: The Ken Cory papers measure 2.0 linear feet and date from 1965-1994. A majority of the papers consist of sketchbooks dating from the mid 1960s through the mid 1990s. These include sketches, aphorisms, and observations all closely related to his career as a jewelry sculptor in what he calls the "phunk" tradition. There are 26 black sketchbooks measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and 5 college ruled sketchbooks measuring 10 x 8 inches. Also included are approximately 10 announcements and rare catalogues of exhibitions of Cory's work.
