content: The papers of artist Remo Farruggio measure 1.5 linear feet and date from 1937-2009. The collection documents Farruggio's life as an artist through biographical material, correspondence, photographs and slides, personal business records, scrapbooks, sketches, writings and notes, and rare printed material. 

Biographical material includes Farruggio's WAP identification card, AFL-CIO membership card, certificate of U.S. citizenship. Correspondence is primarily professional, from galleries and institutions but also including letters (some are photocopies) from Francis Henry Taylor, Robert Beverly Hale, Joseph Green Butler, Morris Davidson, Raphael Soyer, Jacob Kainen, and Theodore Roszak. Photographic materials include documentation of artworks and exhibitions as well as Farruggio, his family, and friends. Personal business records primarily document the sale and dispersal of artworks, including posthumous sales and donations by Farruggio's widow and descendants. Writings are by Farruggio and include his "credo". Two scrapbooks contain clippings and other printed items. Also included are exhibition catalogs and announcements. Also included are two published books illustrated by Farruggio: THE ART OF LOVE by Ovid and WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers.
