content: The biographic material in the collection consists of miscellaneous documents from Pope's academic and professional life. The documents and reports relating to the Freer Gallery provide a snapshot of activities during Pope's tenure but are not comprehensive, nor is it clear how much direct involvement he had with the activity or issue in question. Some documents concern Pope's role as advisor, board member or active participant with other museums, academic institutions and societies.  There are many photographs of Pope at official Freer Gallery functions as well as informal photographs with friends and colleagues in the United States and Asia.
