acqinfo: label: Provenance
content: The Warshaw Collection of Business Americana, Accession AC0060, was purchased from Isadore Warshaw in 1967. Warshaw continued to accumulate similar material until his death, which was donated in 1971 by his widow, Augusta. For a period after acquisition, related materials from other sources (of mixed provenance) were added to the collection so there may be content produced or published after Warshaw's death in 1969. This practice has since ceased.

content: This material consists of three and a half vertical document boxes that provide evidence of how Isadore Warshaw conducted his business. The bulk of this material is correspondence sent to Mr. Warshaw in response to his research inquiries. Often the individuals are informing Warshaw that they do not have the material requested by him. A number of these letters also state that the individual is not related to someone Warshaw is looking for. Printed advertisements and circulars produced by Mr. Warshaw to advertise his collection also are included among these materials. Magazine articles about the Warshaw Collection and articles that use reproductions from the collection, although not always cited, also are found among these materials. Memos, postcards, announcement cards, greeting cards, photographs, and letterhead stationery make up the remainder of the collection. The material dates from 1917-1966 and is arranged by type.
