Notices, 1936-1980

The Municipal Art Society Records Supplement (1924-1992) is an addition to MS 2840, Municipal Art Society Records (1903-1949). This supplement consists of eight boxes and 3 albums of correspondence, notes, printed ephemera, and photographs.

The material principally chronicles the activities of the Municipal Art Society both pre- and post-merger years with the Friends of Art in 1932. Papers have been arranged chronologically within series such as Civic Art, Projects and Programs; Executive Committee Meetings; Correspondence; Lectures; Membership; Museums and Libraries; and Treasurer. It is suggested that one search both Correspondence and any related series for queries concerning a specific person, event, or time period, to glean the maximum information from this inter-relational collection.

As of the date of processing, February 1997, the Minute Books and Financial records are retained by the Municipal Art Society. The minutes of the Municipal Art Society are available on microfilm at the Archives of American Art, Detroit, Michigan.
