These records originated in the office of Robert J. Morrone, Director of Facilities and Operations. Files are identified by project, art object, contractor or other general subject. In addition to the Museum's main neoclassical building, projects pertaining to other related facilities are also documented, including the Rodin Museum, the Raymond Perleman Building, and the Navy Yard facility, used for off-site storage. Documentation includes contracts, surveys, specifications, agreements, and applications
A folder-level inventory is available in the Archives.
These materials were arranged and described by Susan Anderson and Bertha Adams. Funded by a grant from The Institute of Museum and Library Services.
