content: Biographical materials consist of a Cowell's handwritten memoir; three cassette tapes from Cowell's anniversary and birthday in 1973; and a drawing of a house plan. Photographs depict Cowell in the 1970s with friends and in her garden. A spiral-bound photograph album contains about forty photographs of Olive Cowell, her husband, Harry, and his son, pianist and composer Henry taken in their home in San Francisco, California. Artist files for Claire Falkenstein and Frans and Marguerite Wildenhain consist of scattered correspondence, clippings, and exhibition material. A file for Trude Guermonprez concerns the loan of Cowell's tapestry to the Oakland Museum.
