Re: Processing Plan for Katherine S. Dreier Papers / Société Anonyme Archive
Date: 18 October 1996

The Katherine S. Dreier Papers / Société Anonyme Archive consists of two subgroups. The first subgroup, the Katherine S. Dreier Papers, would be organized into the following series:

I. Katherine S. Dreier: Correspondence
II. Katherine S. Dreier: Writings
III. Katherine S. Dreier: Subject Files
IV. Katherine S. Dreier: Personal Papers
V. Katherine S. Dreier: Photographs and Artwork
VI. Katherine S. Dreier: Dreier Family Papers

The second subgroup, the Société Anonyme Archive, would be organized into the following series:

VII. Société Anonyme: Correspondence
VIII. Société Anonyme: Business Material
IX. Société Anonyme: Ephemera & Printed Material
X. Société Anonyme: Clippings
XI. Société Anonyme: Files about Artists
XII. Société Anonyme: Material for A Catalogue Raisonné

I. Katherine S. Dreier: Correspondence. The correspondence appears to havebeen processed somewhat in the near past. It is contained in 42 boxes (there is also some correspondence filed in various other boxes) and is filed alphabetically by last name. Dreier's personal correspondence and her correspondence relating to the business of the Société Anonyme are currently interfiled, but it seems to be possible to separate out correspondence that is clearly that of the Société Anonyme and put it in Series VI. Each series would remain in an alphabetical arrangement; each folder would then be arranged chronologically. There are also files mixed into the correspondence files that belong in Series X and would be moved there (see the description of Series X). Correspondence between Dreier and her family would be moved to Series VI.

II. Katherine S. Dreier: Writings (8 boxes). Dreier's writings are already grouped together and are filed alphabetically (there are also some writings in other boxes that would be moved into this series). The writings include articles and lectures (including some lectures for art appreciation courses that Dreier taught), and there are some programs and announcements for her lectures (which would be filed with the appropriate lecture). The series would remain in an alphabetical arrangement by title. Untitled writings would be given supplied titles in brackets.

III. Katherine S. Dreier: Subject Files (fewer than 5 boxes). The subject files are filed throughout the Papers (some are interfiled with the Files about Artists) and contain clippings, brochures, newsletters, and other material about topics and people. The files appear to have been created by Dreier. Titles given by Dreier would be retained; untitled files would be given supplied titles in brackets.

IV. Katherine S. Dreier: Personal Papers (fewer than 5 boxes). This series would include Dreier's diaries and receipts; invitations and programs for events sponsored by Dreier; programs and catalogs for exhibitions of Dreier's work (the catalogs could possibly be pulled and cataloged separately); and material regarding Dreier's house in Connecticut, "The Haven." Dreier's personal papers are currently filed throughout the Papers.

V. Katherine S. Dreier: Photographs (ca. 2-3 boxes). This series would include photographs of Dreier's art and photographs of others' art. Currently, the photographs are filed throughout the Papers. Some of the photographs are oversized (including four portfolios containing photographs of Dreier's works). This series would also include artwork that was sent to Dreier, some as enclosures with correspondence.

VI. Katherine S. Dreier: Dreier Family Papers (ca. 1-2 boxes). This series would include account books and diaries of the Dreier Family; correspondence between Dreier and her family; and photographs of Dreier and her family.

VII. Société Anonyme: Correspondence. As stated earlier, this series would be culled from the 42 boxes that currently contain the correspondence of Dreier, as well as that of the Société Anonyme. This series would also contain material (from 1941 until 1952) about Dreier's gift to Yale of art owned by the Société Anonyme. It would include original letters from Yale that Dreier retained in her files (including acknowledgment forms), as well her retained carbon copies of letters that she sent to Yale. There is currently a large group of material that probably should be removed from the Papers and placed in the Beinecke administrative files. This material includes originals and carbon copies of inter-office Yale memos, original letters sent to Yale from Dreier, carbon copies of letters sent to Dreier by Yale, and material about the collection after Dreier's death, such as the loaning of art from the collection to other institutions. There is also material regarding the acquisition of her papers, art from her private collection, and the papers of the Société Anonyme.

VIII. Société Anonyme: Business Material (ca. 1-2 boxes). This series would contain material relating to the basic business of the Société Anonyme, including tax material, papers regarding the Société Anonyme's ownership of art, and meeting minutes.

IX. Société Anonyme: Ephemera & Printed Material (fewer than 5 boxes). This series would contain ephemera and printed material that is currently filed throughout the Papers. This material was printed by or for the Société Anonyme and includes programs, invitations, fliers, announcements, membership cards, pamphlets, brochures, and exhibition catalogs. The exhibition catalogs could possibly be pulled and cataloged separately.

X. Société Anonyme: Clippings (ca. 1-2 boxes). The clippings are from newspapers and journals and concern the Société Anonyme. They are currently filed throughout the Papers, loose in folders, as well as bound in oversized volumes (the oversized volumes also contain some printed materials, including exhibition catalogs, which could possibly be cataloged separately). The clippings could either be filed alphabetically by topic, or chronologically.

XI. Société Anonyme: Files about Artists (12 boxes). This series would contain files that were probably created by Dreier about artists whose work was owned by the Société Anonyme. Dreier probably created the files when working on Collection of the Société Anonyme: Museum of Modern Art 1920, which was published by the Yale Art Gallery in 1950. The files are currently housed in 11 boxes and are filed alphabetically by the last name of each artist; this arrangement would be retained. The files contain photographs of the artists' work; drafts of the short essays that were used for Collection of the Société Anonyme: Museum of Modern Art 1920; and background material, including clippings, programs, and brochures. There are some files of background material for artists who were not included in the publication; some of these artists are represented in A Catalogue Raisonné, which was published by the Yale University Press in 1984. There are also some files that have nothing to do with artists; these files should be moved to Series III. Some files from Series I would be moved to Series XI.

XII. Société Anonyme: Material for A Catalogue Raisonné. This series would be organized into two subseries, Photographs, and Exhibits, and would contain material that was created by the Yale University Press and then given to the Papers. The first subseries (1 large box) would contain photographs (of artists' work) that were used in A Catalogue Raisonné. The files are currently arranged in the order that the photographs appear in the publication. This arrangement would retained. The second subseries (7 boxes) would contain files about exhibits that were presented by the Société Anonyme or to which the Société Anonyme loaned art, from 1920 until 1954. Each file contains notes and a survey sheet, and some files contain an original flier for the exhibit. The files would remain in their chronological arrangement.
