Over the course of the summer, I cataloged many exhibition and auction catalogs that originated from the Knoedler London Library collection. This week, I gained insight into the workings of M. Knoedler & Company gallery offices in the 1960s and 70s through an examination of a selection of papers and indices now in the Jean Outland Chrysler Library archive. One of the more unusual items I encountered, and which proved a challenge to describe, was a set of card catalog drawers filled with auction data. I created a finding aid that orders and describes the contents of the M. Knoedler & Company Papers.-Rachel Juris, 2009 Jean Outland Chrysler Library Cataloging Fellow
