content: Holly Solomon's personal papers consist of biographical documents, correspondence, memorabilia, printed material, motion picture film, and photographs collected by Holly Solomon throughout her life. The earliest materials include high school mementos and both her high school and college yearbooks, while later items include notes and cards from friends and artists she represented at her gallery. The boxes of personal correspondence, memorabilia and photographs are not sorted or organized any particular order. Included are postcards, telegrams, letters, photographs of friends and family, invitations, and event fliers. 

Motion picture films include one short reel of black and white 16mm and a color Super 8mm (400 ft.) of Holly Solomon and others who are unidentified. Also found are three film reels (16mm, color) of a golfer. This series also includes legal documents regarding Solomon's 1990 divorce and a collection of printed material, mostly magazines and newspapers covering her accomplishments. The printed materials range from the 1950s through her death in 2002. The guest books from her 2002 memorial service at the Guggenheim are also included.
