Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series contains two scrapbooks of research notes (both have been dismantled and placed in file folders), and a group of subject files. One scrapbook is labeled “working notes, including the day by day discovery diary,” and the other contains photographs and is labeled “core photographs for research.” The subject files are about a variety of topics, and many of them are the subject headings used by the Holdridges in their own filing system.

Together the binders and the subject files contain a variety of material related to specific paintings or families, conservation efforts, various subject categories (such as auction prices and antique dealers), as well as drafts of articles written by the Holdridges. There are also two oversized folders in box AFAM-OS-2 of newspaper clippings, and one in box AFAM-OS-1 of a historic map of Colebrook.
