Overview and metadata sections

As a scholar and teacher, author, architect and museum director, Fiske Kimball had an insatiable desire to immerse himself in numerous and often simultaneous projects concerning art and architecture, and in turn, to educate and excite others in those pursuits. Best known for his thirty-year tenure as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Kimball packed several prolific careers into his 66 years. Although he never attributed his motivation and drive to any individual or institution, Kimball's work ethic no doubt was cultivated during his early years, particularly by his father. Born December 8, 1888, in the Boston suburb of Newton, Massachusetts, Sidney Fiske Kimball was the second child of Ellen Leora (nee Ripley) and Edwin Fiske Kimball. The elder Kimball was an educator in the Boston school district, serving as headmaster of the Gilbert Stuart School in Dorchester from 1909 until his death in 1924. He lectured and wrote on educational and other social topics, such as scientific temperance and hygiene, and sat on several civic committees. While the younger Kimball was away at college and during his early career years, his father corresponded often, advising and encouraging his son to stay "on the road to even higher usefulness." Based on her accomplishments, Kimball's sister Theodora received similar encouragement from their parents and shared her brother's enthusiasm for scholarship. Born in 1887, Theodora Kimball was one of the first women to graduate from Simmons College with an advanced degree. She was an author, editor, and lecturer of landscape architecture and city planning, as well as librarian of the School of Landscape Architecture of Harvard University, where she worked with and later married Professor Henry Hubbard.

Coming from such a motivated environment, Fiske Kimball entered academia in 1905, attending Harvard University's Lawrence Scientific School, Department of Architecture. Upon earning an A.B. in Fine Arts from Harvard College in 1909, Kimball was accepted to Harvard's Graduate School of Applied Sciences to further his studies in architecture. During this time, Kimball was awarded the Sheldon Fellowship, which allowed him to travel and study art in Europe for approximately eight months. He also received several scholarships and prizes, including that awarded by the Boston Society of Architects in 1910. By the time he received his Master's degree in Architecture in 1912, Kimball had already gained experience in three professions--as a teacher, architect and author. While the latter two served as lifelong careers, Kimball used his early years of teaching as an opportunity to further his own graduate studies.

Although Kimball taught as an assistant in fine arts while studying at Harvard in 1909, his first full-time teaching position came in 1912, when he was appointed an instructor in architecture at the University of Illinois. While at Urbana-Champaign, Kimball took graduate courses. He also met Marie Goebel, daughter of Julius Goebel, a professor of Germanic languages at the university. They married the following June and moved to Michigan upon Kimball's appointment as instructor and later assistant professor of architecture at that university. As at Illinois, Kimball continued his own graduate studies while teaching at the University of Michigan. With a concentration in the history of architecture, he wrote his dissertation, "Thomas Jefferson and the First Monument of the Classical Revival in America," which was a study of the design of the Virginia Capitol. His degree of Ph.D. was conferred in June 1915, at which time Kimball also decided to use "Fiske" rather than "Sidney" as his first name. Kimball's study in early American architecture was further advanced the following year when he was named the first recipient of Harvard University's Sachs Research Fellowship. The research work and travel required Kimball to take a year's leave of absence from Michigan. Upon his return to the university, Kimball was offered the position of assistant professor of fine arts, which he held from 1918 to 1919.

The Kimballs next moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, where in the fall of 1919, Kimball joined the faculty of the University of Virginia as a professor and head of the department of architecture and fine arts. He also served from around 1921 to 1923 as the university's supervising architect and as such, oversaw the design and construction of Memorial Gymnasium, McIntire Amphitheatre, and a faculty housing complex. In addition to his multiple responsibilities in Virginia, Kimball also began in 1919 to lecture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and in the summer of 1921 he taught two art history courses at the University of Chicago. In 1923, he and Marie made Manhattan their home when he accepted a position at New York University (NYU) to re-establish and serve as director of its Department of Fine Arts and as Morse Professor of the Literature of the Arts of Design, which included lecturing at the National Academy of Design. (The department's graduate program in the history of art later developed into the Institute of Fine Arts.) In 1924 he also was appointed the university's consulting architect. Kimball remained at NYU and continued lecturing at the Metropolitan until 1925 when he was appointed director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. He retained his position as NYU's consulting architect until his death. Although Kimball's last formal teaching position was a 1940 summer session at the University of California in Berkeley, he continued to teach through his lectures and addresses given at Philadelphia Museum of Art and other museums and institutions, professional associations, and a variety of clubs and organizations.

While Kimball's first published article, concerning the arrangement of photographs and magazine plates, appeared in the April 1908 issue of Brickbuilder magazine, his long and prolific career as a writer began on a more regular basis in 1912. In addition to writing an article on the brick manor houses of France, Kimball was invited in the spring of 1913 to write a book on the history of architecture as part of a series of histories of art to be published by Harper. Over the next dozen years, Kimball continued to write on the history of architecture, particularly that of early Americirca In 1916, Kimball's first book, Thomas Jefferson, Architect was published privately. Sharing his interest in American Colonial and early Republic history, Kimball's wife Marie assisted her husband with his research of Jefferson and published her own studies of the period. After the Harper's project, published in 1918, Kimball's next book, Domestic Architecture of the American Colonies and of the Early Republic, appeared in 1922. He also wrote numerous reviews of publications on architecture. With Kimball's appointment as museum director in 1925, his subject matter broadened to include topics such as Philadelphia Chippendale furniture and other decorative arts, period rooms, collections of paintings, artists and special exhibits, and issues concerning the operation of art museums in Americirca From 1925 to 1955, Kimball wrote nearly 200 articles for literary and art magazines published in the U.S. and Europe, as well as six books, including his study of American carver and architect Samuel McIntire (1940) and his seminal study of the development of the Rococo (1943). Kimball served on several editorial boards, including a vice chairmanship on the board editing the Papers of Thomas Jefferson, and from 1920 to 1926 he was in charge of the American section of Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Kunstler, a comprehensive dictionary of artists and architects known commonly as Thieme Becker.

As previously noted, Kimball's other lifelong career was his work as an architect, which he began practicing in 1910. Licensed to practice in several states, Kimball was appointed fellow of the American Institute of Architects and served as president of the Virginia chapter. Between 1906 and 1930, Kimball completed nearly twenty residential projects including several cottages at Christmas Cove, Maine, a colony of cottages at Onekema, Michigan, and the Scottwood subdivision in Ann Arbor. In addition, Kimball oversaw the renovation of several Colonial and early Republic houses, including most significantly that of Thomas Jefferson, Monticello. In addition, Kimball, often along with his architectural colleague Erling H. Pedersen, worked on Dumbarton House, Gunston Hall, Moors' End, the Octagon, Stratford Hall, Tryon's Palace, Carroll Mansion at Homewood, and two Fairmount Park Houses, Lemon Hill and Mount Pleasant. Kimball's more personal architectural projects include his design for his in-laws' house at Castle Park, Michigan, and for his parents' home at Milton, Massachusetts. For himself and his wife Marie, Kimball in 1935 began designing Shack Mountain, their home near Charlottesville, Virginia. The house, a modern home that incorporated the "classical Jeffersonian model," represented the Kimballs' long-term attachment to the area, which began with their shared scholarly interest in Thomas Jefferson and Monticello and continued with Kimball's tenure at the University of Virginia. The Kimballs retained Shack Mountain throughout their lifetime. In 1992, the house was nominated as a National Historic Landmark.

Kimball also sat on several advisory boards, including many that fostered the nation's nascent historic preservation movement in the United States. He served for 25 years on the Advisory Committee of Architects overseeing the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg. In this role, he provided guidance on the restoration of the Colonial city based upon his historical research and interpretation. In addition, he was a member of the Advisory Board of National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments that advised the National Park Service on the identification, restoration and management of historic sites. He also served as secretary of the Jefferson Bicentennial Commission, was a member of the jury for the Thomas Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, and was a member of the Rockefeller Center Art Advisory Committee.

Already an established author, architect and professor, Kimball in 1925 accepted the position as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (operating at that time as the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art). As the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin noted at the time of his death, "few have ever made a greater contribution to Philadelphia's culture." When Kimball assumed his directorship, the Museum still operated in Memorial Hall, a Centennial Exhibition structure, and its collection focused on American-made objects with an emphasis on textiles and the industrial arts. Construction of the new building was underway. During his tenure, Kimball oversaw the completion of the building's exterior and a significant installation of its interior, most of which was accomplished with WPA-sponsored labor. Kimball filled the newly built Museum with several period rooms and architectural elements from Europe and Asia. For this and his own academic purposes, Kimball, always accompanied by Marie, traveled to Europe many times to meet with dealers, visit architectural sites of interest, and conduct extensive research in French archives. In addition, Kimball was responsible for bringing several major collections to the Museum, including the Foulc collection of Medieval and Renaissance sculpture, furnishings and artifacts, the Crozier collection of Oriental art, and the Arensberg and Gallatin collections of 20th century painting and sculpture.

To care for these collections, Kimball worked to develop a professional staff of men and women, some of whom went on to assume head positions at other major museums in the United States and in Europe. To all personnel, Kimball passed on his devotion to the Museum and a sense of fairness. As recalled in a Museum Bulletin, Kimball "was preeminent in his relationship with his staff...[giving] credit where credit was due." When writing to staff or colleagues, Kimball often animated his correspondence with a "Bully!" to signify his approval of a particular action or recommendation. Such commanding enthusiasm complemented his six-foot-one frame "of ample girth." According to PMA curator Carl Zigrosser, "Kimball was a titan of directed energy...[which] came from his sense of dedication to the Museum." Kimball's contribution to the Museum was publicly acknowledged when he was named the 1950 recipient of the prestigious Philadelphia Award. While serving as director, Kimball was also active in several related professional organizations, including the American Association of Museums, the Museum Council of Philadelphia, and the Association of Art Museum Directors.

In the end, according to his biographers George and Mary Roberts, Kimball's boundless energy and frenetic work habits apparently overwhelmed him, and in January 1955 he resigned as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. On March 2, Kimball's wife Marie, to whom he was very devoted, died. Five months later, while traveling in Europe, Fiske Kimball suffered a heart attack and stroke. He died on August 14 in Munich.

The Fiske Kimball Papers document the myriad interests and tireless professional pursuits of architect, scholar and museum director Fiske Kimball. The papers include professional and personal correspondence; architectural drawings; manuscript, typescript, and printed versions of articles, books, and reviews; photographs, including some personal snapshots and portraits of Kimball and his family; and research and reference material, particularly notes and clippings. Note that the majority of material pertaining to Kimball's thirty year tenure as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art are located in the Fiske Kimball Records, and the two collections should be consulted in tandem.

The "General correspondence and related material" series primarily documents Kimball's long-term association with organizations devoted to professional development and scholarship, such as the American Institute of Architects, the American Association of Museums, and the Association of Art Museum Directors. In addition, the series includes a significant amount of letters with journal editors. As documented by this and additional correspondence found in the "Writings and research" series, Kimball had long-standing relationships with many of these editors, as he frequently offered solicited and unsolicited contributions to a variety of art and literary magazines.

The "Personal papers and records" series documents the more personal aspects of Kimball's busy life, and includes correspondence with members of his family, including his wife Marie, his parents, his sister, and some of his in-laws and distant relatives. The series also includes Kimball's letterbooks and journals; snapshots and portraits; material regarding Kimball's estate and that of his parents; records of his European travels; financial, genealogical, and insurance information; documentation of Kimball's various residences; and his high school, college and graduate school records.

The next five series relate to specific aspects of Kimball's professional life. The "Architectural projects" series documents Kimball's various design/build, consulting and restoration projects, and includes correspondence with clients; architectural floor plans, elevations and renderings; ephemera; wallpaper and fabric samples; and research material. Of particular note is the material documenting Kimball's long-term involvement with the restoration of Monticello and Colonial Williamsburg. The "Historic preservation projects" series documents Kimball's role in a government and two private agencies focused on the identification, study, maintenance and preservation of America's historic buildings and monuments. Kimball's role as an advisor on a variety of art historical and historical projects is recorded in the "Art historical and historical projects" series. These projects range from planning festivities around the 200th aniversary celebration of Thomas Jefferson's birth to selecting an artistic program for the Rockefeller Center, and from planning a Festschrift in honor of an art historian friend to facilitating the publication of two important art historical reference works.

The "Teaching position" series includes correspondence, course assignments, exam questions, lecture notes, student records and other material related to Kimball's professorships at the University of Illinois, the University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, and New York University. Material about Kimball's temporary lecture posts at the University of Chicago and the University of California, Berkeley is also included. The "Writings and research" series documents Kimball's extensive published contributions to art historical scholarship, as well as some of the areas of interest on which he lectured, researched, or intended to publish. The series includes manuscript, typescript, and printed versions of his writings; correspondence with his editors, publishers, translators, co-authors, and others; photographs and negatives used by Kimball for study purpose and as illustrations; notes; and other associated material.

The final series, "Reference material" is comprised of clippings, photographs, glass and film negatives, lantern slides, post cards, and other material Kimball consulted for reference purposes, specifically in support of his art historical scholarship, and possibly also his work as an architect and architectural consultant. The series also includes his card file in which he kept bibliographic references, addresses, and personal information, including his dental X-rays.

According to Merle Chamberlain, the archivist who first processed the Fiske Kimball Papers in 1982, "Kimball's papers were found, helter-skelter, in a loft storeroom of the Museum. File drawers had been transferred carelessly into open boxes and other containers without identification....It was apparent that the Kimball papers had been shifted from pillar to post for twenty years after coming to the Museum. Even in 1975, they were not secure. A flood from the newly installed air-conditioning equipment soaked some of the boxes and produced mold. The papers were salvaged and moved to the present Archives...." The papers were initially processed into 19 series.

The current arrangement consolidates the collection into eight series, five of which focus on aspects of Kimball's professional life: "Architectural projects," "Historic preservation projects," "Art historical and historical projects," "Teaching positions," and "Writings and research." Of the remaining series, "General correspondence and related material" and "Personal papers and records" document multiple aspects of Kimball's life. "Reference material" consists of a mix of documentation Kimball used for multiple purposes.

Collection Inventory

Scope and Content Note

While this series includes Kimball's correspondence with many of the same individuals and institutions represented in the various subject-related series, the bulk of "General correspondence and related material" documents his long-term association with organizations devoted to professional development and scholarship. Kimball's most consistent correspondents include the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the American Association of Museums (AAM), and the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD). The earliest of Kimball's professional affiliations was with the AIA, and correspondence begins with his 1915 application as Junior Member of its Michigan chapter. The publication of his dissertation in the Institute's journal is another subject of his early correspondence. Later correspondence deals with Kimball's work on the Committee on Archives, including his suggestion of compiling a "Who's Who in Architecture" to document AIA members, and his participation in the Virginia and Philadelphia chapters. Kimball's membership in the AAM and AAMD corresponds with his tenure at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA). Documentation of both organizations consists of general correspondence as well as annual meeting agendas and minutes and material relating to the various subgroups of committees and councils. Related material in the Fiske Kimball Records is cross-referenced at the file level. Much of Kimball's early AAM correspondence is with its director, Lawrence Vail Coleman, and pertains to a variety of issues concerning museums generally and to the PMA specifically, such as its progress on construction projects funded by the Works Progress Administration. Much of his correspondence of the 1940s pertains to the Committee on Association Policies. In the AAMD files, lists of exhibitions arranged by member museums and available for travel appear regularly within the correspondence files. The issue of overlapping AAMD and AAM agendas and meeting dates is another topic of regular discussion.

There is also substantial documentation with the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which was established in 1925 to provide fellowships for advanced professionals in most fields of art. Kimball sat on its Education Advisory Board and was consulted regularly for his opinions and recommendations of fellow nominees. Kimball also corresponded regularly with the College Art Association, another institution devoted to the promotion of the visual arts, and with the Century Association, to which Kimball was elected a resident member in 1924. Located in New York City, the latter organization, also referred to as a club, was incorporated to promote the advancement of art and literature, and maintained a library, reading room and art gallery. The bulk of Kimball's correspondence with the Century relates to member recommendations. His memberships with the Philadelphia Art Alliance and with the prestigious American Philosophical Society are also well documented.

The individuals significantly represented in this series also exemplify the array of art experts Kimball cultivated. These include: New York collector of American art, Thomas B. Clarke; fellow author and staff member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Department of Prints, Edna Donnell; and art historians Walter Cook and R. Meyer Riefstahl. Other organizational correspondents include Harvard University, New York University, the Frick Art Reference Library, and the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, as well as the publications Architectural Record, Art Bulletin and Antiques Magazine.

Also of note is Kimball's twenty-year correspondence with the New York clothier Brooks Brothers. These letters give a personal picture of Kimball, including his stature, preferences in men's fashion, and his implicit expectation of nothing less than perfect customer service.

In addition to the minutes and agendas referenced above, many folders contain other material related to the correspondence, including clippings, ephemera, photographs and publications. Attachments have been retained with the appropriate correspondence as well as any reference material Kimball may have assembled with it, including his notes.

Arrangement

This series consists of papers originally processed as "Records of Kimball's Early Career, 1911-1923" and "Professional Correspondence, 1920-1955." The one exception is the material previously identified as Kimball's teaching records, and originally part of the "Early Career" series. These are now processed as a separate "Teaching positions" series. "General correspondence" is divided into three chronological subseries, in an arrangement that generally reflects the original order, without the overlap of dates. The subseries are 1908-1919, 1920-1942 and 1943-1955. Within each subseries, folders are arranged alphabetically with alphabetical-run folders (containing multiple personal or corporate authors) preceding individual author folders.

Scope and Content Note

This series comprises materials and subjects that document the more personal aspects of Kimball's busy life. The "Family correspondence" and "Letterbooks and other journals" subseries document his close relationship with his parents and sister. The"Subject" subseries includes Kimball's records as a grammar school graduate, as well as information about his estate. Kimball's life is also chronicled from childhood to adult in many of the photographs comprising the final subseries, "Photographs, artwork and artifacts." Images of his wife Marie at various ages are also included as are photographs of other family, friends and a few places to which Kimball was attached personally and professionally.

As with many of his relatives, Kimball's relationships with other individuals often mixed business with pleasure. For that reason, his correspondence with such people and with other non-family acquaintances has been retained in the "General Correspondence" series. Similarly, correspondence with businesses concerning personal matters, such as letters to a moving company or retailer, also remains in "General Correspondence," with the exception of certain corporate correspondence files included in the "Subject" subseries.

Physical Description

6.5 linear feet

Scope and Content Note

This subseries consists primarily of letters between members of the Kimball family, although a few folders of correspondence with Fiske's in-laws, the Goebels, are also included. Letters between Kimball and his parents, Edwin and Ellen Leore, comprise the bulk of the correspondence, covering a span of twenty years. These letters also offer the most detailed description of some of Kimball's earliest activities, professional and personal. His discussions of his European travels while a Sheldon Fellow in 1911 and of his research in the south as a Sachs Fellow in 1916 read like journals, recording his daily routines of work and occasional play. The letterbooks discussed in the next subseries contain copies of a few additional letters Kimball sent to his mother and sister from Europe, the originals of which are missing from this subseries.

Other activities highlighted in the correspondence with his parents include Kimball's oral defense given as a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan. In a May 23, 1915 letter to his father Kimball concludes his account noting that after the two-and-a-half-hour exam, his committee needed only 15 minutes to deliberate and offer their congratulations. In a letter written approximately two weeks later, Kimball explains to his parents his preference to be referred to professionally as "Fiske" rather than "Sidney." His involvement in designing the home on Spafford Road in Milton, Massachusetts for his parents and sister is also discussed in several letters written between 1914 and 1916. In addition to detailing academic pursuits, career choices, and the writing projects pursued by both Kimball and Marie, these letters also focus on domestic issues. As a young married couple starting out on a limited budget, Kimball and Marie corresponded regularly with his parents, making obvious a bond of love and respect as well as financial dependence. Kimball's parents often sent checks and a variety of items, including clothing, housewares, chocolates and home-grown pears. Kimball's correspondence with his sister Theodora also reveals a close relationship strengthened not only through familial ties but from a shared passion for scholarship. Theodora came to Harvard University as a librarian in the School of Landscape Architecture during Kimball's last year there. While at Harvard, both Kimballs became associated with the landscape architect and faculty member Henry Hubbard, whom Theodora married in 1924. Her changing relationship with Hubbard occasionally comes to surface during the course of her correspondence with her brother. Most often in their letters, Kimball and his sister discuss the progress of their respective research projects and call on each other for advice or assistance. Also included are a few letters between Kimball and Theodora's physician and nurse, discussing her failing health.

The folder of correspondence from Marie Kimball to her husband consists of five letters, most written during the earlier days of their marriage. In addition to giving detailed accounts of her days apart from Kimball, this small cache of intimate letters underscores Marie's devotion to her husband. Even the latest-dated letter, written after 32 years of marriage and focusing on Marie's handling of two wandering steers on the lawns of Shack Mountain, ends on a note of affection. Letters from Kimball to his "Mia" are scattered throughout various folders, such as the correspondence files of the "Teaching Positions" series. Those folders also contain letters from other parties written to Marie Kimball, usually in response to her request for their assistance in securing a position for her husband. The largest collection of letters between Kimball and his wife are those concerning the construction of their Virginia home, Shack Mountain, and are housed in the "Architectural projects" series.

Other correspondents represented in individual files are: Emma Fullam, a cousin of Kimball's maternal grandmother; Marie's father Julius and her mother; her brothers Julius and Walter and their wives; Henry Hubbard; Kimball's aunt Harriet Ripley Kimball; a cousin Katherine Kimball, who was also an artist living in Europe; and Marguerite Kimball, daughter of Harriet. His dealings with each varied. For Emma Fullam, who made numerous requests for his assistance, Kimball oversaw the sale of many of her antiques. His correspondence with various dealers regarding these sales and valuations are also included. With his in-laws, Kimball often discussed career matters, as well as some personal issues, such as Hubbard's marriage to his childhood friend Isabel Gerrish, which was Theodora's dying wish according to his June 22, 1937 letter.

Arrangement

Because the subjects of their letters often overlap, correspondence written by Kimball and by Marie, while in separate folders, are grouped together by recipient so that Kimball's letters to his father, arranged chronologically, are followed by those written to Edwin by Marie. Letters to Ellen Kimball and to Theodora are similarly arranged. Letters addressed to both parents or to "family" are filed with Edwin Kimball correspondence. The file of Marie Kimball's letters to her husband precedes the third-party correspondence of Edwin and Theodora. The remaining files are arranged alphabetically, by relative's name, ending with a folder of "Other relatives."

Scope and Content Note

Dating from 1909 and 1954, the two appointment books in this subseries are like bookends to the career of Fiske Kimball, chronicling some of his youngest days as an undergraduate at Harvard as well as his final days as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Notations in the 1909 book include academic activities, such as architectural lectures, tests and "all day sketch[es]" and occasional social dates for tea, the opera and the symphony. Perhaps even more personal is his entry for February 12 in which he reminds himself to "send Helens Val." (Based on comments Theodora makes in several letters to her brother in the summer of 1911, the full identity of this woman is probably Helen L. Ely.) Another appointment regularly entered is "Amicirclum." Kimball, along with a few of his fellow undergraduates, apparently established their own informal fraternity, which they referred to as "Brothers in Amicurclum" and "Brother Amicocks." The group kept in touch other over the years, even holding a reunion in 1920. Processed as "Brothers in Amicurclum," their correspondence is filed in the "General Correspondence" series. Kimball's 1954 appointment book includes entries indicative of an established scholar and director of a major museum. His year begins with a Van Gogh opening, and continues with numerous luncheons, meetings, speaking engagements, and by the middle of summer, another trip to Europe, simply notated as "to Versailles."

The letterbooks pertain to Kimball's Harvard days, particularly his 1911 trip to Europe as a Sheldon Fellow. Kimball used part of the earliest book as a diary, beginning with the summer of 1909 and his school commencement. Following several blank pages, he makes one more entry, dated June 27, 1911, which was his first day en route to Europe. The rest of the journal is used as a letterbook, containing copies of letters to his parents and sister. Most of the original letters are part of the "Family correspondence" subseries. However, the letterbook contains copies of additional letters not included in the correspondence subseries, such as those to his sister Theodora dated July 16, 23 and August 8. There are also copies of letters to other individuals, including his cousin Marguerite Kimball, a "Mrs. Moore," and an apparent friend addressed as "Lawrence." Kimball kept a tally of all the letters and cards he wrote while in Europe. Based on his calculations, which are inserted in this letterbook, Kimball wrote 149 letters and 61 cards over a 165-day period, and spent $7.00 in postage. The second letterbook, covering September 8 to November 12, 1911, also contains copies of letters to other individuals, including several Harvard professors, his Amicurclum brother Norman Foerster, and "Helen." The third letterbook concludes Kimball's European travels. This letterbook also appears to include copies of family letters for which there are no corresponding originals, such as the one to his mother dated December 14, 1911.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries consists of materials that highlight several aspects of Kimball's private life--from his young ideas on improving the image of the scholar to his choices in automobiles and stocks. Most of the documentation pertains to Kimball's "European travels." Kimball made several overseas trips for a variety of reasons that were often combined into one tour. He came as a scholar, museum director scouting for acquisitions, and with his wife, as a couple of tourists. This material primarily documents the travel arrangements, expenses and sometime cancellations of Kimball's trips, rather than describe his activities and dealings. Based on the amount of correspondence in these travel records, Kimball made most of his travel arrangements through the Philadelphia agency, Geylin & Frank, and he and Marie were frequent guests at the Hotel Lotti in Paris. Also included are passports and foreign driver's licenses for Kimball and his wife, as well as printed material regarding the importation of art objects. One folder of correspondence and other papers documents their preparations to host a cocktail party while in Paris in 1949 and 1952.

Other substantially-documented subjects are "Estates" and "Student Records." Affairs relating to the estates of several relatives, as well as of Marie and Fiske, make up the "Estate" files. Kimball served as executor of his parents' estates and that of his sister. In addition to his correspondence with the family attorney, there are also several drawings for the gravestone inscriptions for his mother and father. Most of the material documenting Kimball's own estate consists of memorial tributes, including resolutions made by the Museum's Board of Governors, obituaries, and magazine clippings. Marie Kimball's estate documentation consists of a program from her funeral services. Kimball's successor at the Museum, Henri Marceau, apparently drew the layout for the gravestone inscription for Kimball and his wife. Documentation of Kimball's school years, filed here as "Student records," begins with his elementary school days and the commencement program of the Class of 1900 from Belcher School in Milton, Massachusetts. At that graduation, Kimball, not quite 12 years old, presented "The Progress of the World in the Last Decade." Also documenting Kimball's early scholastic ability are three postcards notifying him of winning small prizes in competitions sponsored by the St. Nicolas League, a one-time popular children's magazine. These are followed by a few records of his high school years. Most of the remaining papers pertain to Kimball's studies at Harvard College and University, as an undergraduate and graduate student. Material includes notices of scholarships, architectural problems and exams, student portraits, and Kimball's thesis design of a palace for the governor of the Panama Canal. There are also files pertaining to architectural competitions sponsored by Harvard and other institutions, notes for writings on various architectural and academic topics, a play put on by the students of the Architecture Departments, and a few papers pertaining to Kimball's 1911 appointment as a Sheldon Fellow for travel and study in Europe. During his tenure as an instructor and assistant professor at the University of Illinois, Kimball also pursued graduate studies. A folder of architectural assignments, which appear to pertain to those studies, is included. There are no records here of his doctoral studies at the University of Michigan, although some description is provided in Kimball's letters to his parents, which are included in the "Family Correspondence." Kimball's work from 1916 to 1917 as a Sachs Fellow for the study of Early American architecture is also described there and in the "Harvard University' files in the "General Correspondence" series, 1911-1919 subseries.

More than half a document case of files pertain to Kimball's "Insurance" matters. With the number and types of claims documented, Kimball's insurance files give an overview not only of that industry, but a hint as to the personality of a man incapable of staying idle. Whether reckless and headstrong or merely accident prone and unlucky, Kimball submitted more than 20 automobile accident claims in as many years. In most of these cases, he insinuated that the other party was at fault. The other driver was either a "wretched cowboy" or an "old maid" who had "suddenly shot out" while Kimball was "barely crawling around the corner." His wife Marie was also involved in at least two auto incidents, not including the one in which her parked car was hit by another or the times she was run down as a pedestrian--once by a car in Philadelphia and years later by a checkered cab in New York City. Kimball was also fastidious in the claims he submitted for loss or stolen property. Some pertained to the smallest of items, such as two ties, valued at $6, a cigar lighter from his car or a flashlight worth $1.50. Others were more valuable, such as pieces of silver and pewter as well as the bronze medal he received as recipient of the distinguished Bok (Philadelphia) Award, all lost when his Lemon Hill residence was burglarized. Although filed with the architectural projects, correspondence with Hanckel-Citizen, the insurance carrier for his Shack Mountain home in Charlottesville, Virginia, documents similar claims. For example, with the kitchen fire that damaged the countertops, Kimball also requested and received $25 as compensation for a toaster. In another claim resulting from an alleged break-in, Kimball was reimbursed not only for the broken doors and windows, but also for the 9 bottles of whiskey and carton of cigarettes he reported as stolen. In addition to giving glimpses into Kimball's life style, these papers also make reference to related social issues, such as the availability of residential bombardment coverage offered in 1943 by the War Damage Corporation, and the 1946 rate increase for automobile insurance resulting from the lifting of gas rationing.

Other subjects documented include the Kimballs' art collections and finances, the latter of which includes papers regarding their banking and investments, tax returns and miscellaneous receipts. "Genealogy" folders consist of materials collected by Kimball and his sister Theodora to document their family history. Their most prolific source of such information was their aunt Harriet Ripley Kimball. According to Kimball's notations made on the reverse of a photograph of Harriet as a young woman, she not only was sister to Kimball's mother Ellen Leora, but was also married to Frederick Gray Kimball, the brother of Kimball's father. That photograph is included in the "Photograph" subseries. In addition to her letters, "Aunt Hattie" also sent Kimball a few artifacts, including two buttons from the coat her father wore as a captive northern soldier at Libby Prison in Tennessee during the Civil War. According to Kimball's aunt, Theodore Ripley sold some of the buttons while in prison in order to buy bread made from corncobs. A certified copy of Kimball's birth certificate and several versions of his curriculm vitae are also included. Most of the material filed under "Residences" pertains to Lemon Hill, the historic home offered by the Fairmount Park Commissioners when Kimball accepted the position in 1925 as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and in which the Kimballs resided for the next 30 years. Most of these papers pertain to later improvements Kimball made to the house, specifically the installation of an elevator, which was necessitated by Marie's ill health. Much of his correspondence is with Erling Pedersen. Other residences documented here include the Kimballs' first home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, "The Cutting," which was a rental house, and their later home on East 61st Street in New York City, purchased in 1923. Photographs document the former address, while the latter is referenced in several letters. In 1946, Kimball purchased the Rose Lane property, which they used as a seasonal getaway from their Philadelphia home. Sketches and floor plan drawings document the extensive renovations Kimball, again with the assistance of Erling Pedersen, made to the 1928 structure. Documentation of Shack Mountain, the one residence Kimball designed and built for himself in Viriginia, is processed in the Architectural Projects series.

Scope and Content Note

Captured in formal portraits and candid snapshots, family members are the primary subject of the photographs processed in this subseries. A few tintypes, postcards, a carte-de-visite, lantern slides and glass plate negatives are also included. A photograph album of portraits begins this series and includes early photographs of Kimball's parents, his sister as a youngster, and other Kimball and Ripley relatives of his parents' generation and earlier. Based on the style of clothing depicted, these portraits probably date from the mid- to late-19th century. Approximately half are unidentified. The folders of photographs are arranged by individual family members, beginning with Kimball's parents. Next are early and later photographs of Kimball, followed by those of his sister, and in a separate folder, a few tintypes, circa 1893, of the young brother and sister. The folder of photographs of Theordora includes two with her husband Henry Hubbard and a few with other individuals. Portraits of Marie Kimball offer glimpses of her from what appear to be her schoolgirl to midlife years. Photographs of Kimball and his wife together are in a separate folder and include candid shots of them with others at a summerhouse in New Jersey. The "Other individuals" folder includes images of family members and acquaintances, all of whom are identified. Most of the images in the "Unidentified individuals" folder are formal portraits, including what appears to be a school group of young men and their instructors, dated 1907. Photographs of places in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia and Christmas Cove, Maine that Kimball may have taken are filed in the "Geographic file" subseries of the "Reference material" series.

The next group of photographs focuses on scenic views, although people appear in many of the images. Within a small photograph album, neither the location nor individuals are identified. The album appears to document a vacation or some type of social outing, and includes a few sprigs of foliage pressed between some of the pages. The folder of photographs identified as Christmas Cove, Maine document a place very familiar to Kimball and his sister. To Theodora, Christmas Cove was a place to vacation with friends. To Kimball, the site also offered architectural commissions. Their ties to the site are documented, respectively, in the "Family Correspondence" subseries of this series and in the "Residential" subseries of the "Architectural Projects" series. Depicted in these photographs are various groupings of young men and women in leisure settings. None are identified or dated although the costumes suggest turn of the century. The final set of photographs pertains to the house on Spafford Road in Milton, Massachusetts that Kimball designed for his parents and sister. Most of the images, notated on the reverse, are of the gardens. Kimball's parents are seen in some of the views.

Drawings consist of original artwork drawn by Kimball or his friends. Although the bookplate designs are undated, all the drawings appear to date from Kimball's student days. Kimball probably drew the three studies of European architecture while in Europe as a Sheldon Fellow. What remains unclear, however, is why he dated his sketch of Beauvais as July 1911 on the verso. Kimball was still in England at that time.

"Objects" refer to any three-dimensional items not created by Kimball. These include the two books he owned and later gave to the library of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Being a collection of honorary addresses and a teacher's bible, both volumes were transferred to the archives. The third volume is in French, and there is no indication of how it came in Kimball's possession. The remaining objects are unidentified and consist of a small block of marble with an inlay center, and two fragments of granite. Kimball did request a granite gravestone in his memorandum to executors, which is processed as part of his "Estate" papers. Perhaps the granite fragments were collected as reference samples.

Scope and Content Note

Records in this series document the various facets of Kimball's work as practicing architect and architectural advisor. The series includes material on the many historical restoration projects with which Kimball was involved, including most significantly Monticello and Colonial Williamsburg. In addition, there is material on the restoration of several Colonial and Early Republican homes, specifically Dumbarton House, Gunston Hall, Moors' End, the Octagon, Stratford Hall, Tryon's Palace, and Carroll Mansion at Homewood. Kiimball undertook most of these projects with the assistance of his long-time architectural partner, Erling H. Pedersen. The series also includes Kimball's architectural drawings and other documents for various design-build projects, including his own home Shack Mountain and several early cabins and homes for individual clients. Kimball served for four years as Supervising Architect for the University of Virginia, and for nearly thirty years as University Architect for New York University. His work in these capacities is also documented here. Finally, the series documents Kimball's advisory role on two national monuments, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis.

Scope and Content Note

Dumbarton House was built around 1800 in the Federal style, and is located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The house was purchased in 1928 by the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America to serve as the association's headquarters. The Society hired local architect Horace W. Peaslee to renovate the house to its early 19th century appearance, and contracted Kimball to serve as their architectural advisor. In this capacity, Kimball reviewed Peaslee's architectural plans, and made suggestions for their modification based on his extensive research on domestic architecture of the period. The records are comprised primarily of correspondence with Peaslee and Mrs. Joseph R. Lamar of the Colonial Dames; some architectural plans are also included.

These records document Kimball's involvement as first Chair (1945-1947), and later Member (1948-1950), of the American Institute of Architect's Committee on Restoration of the Octagon. The Octagon (1799-1801) was designed by William Thorton as a residence for Col. John Tayloe III and in 1899, became the Institute's headquarters. Kimball's committee was charged with restoring the building as a historic monument, refurnishing its interior appropriately, and raising the necessary funds. The records are comprised primarily of correspondence, much of it with architect and author Thomas Waterman who served as restoration consultant, other members of the Committee, and directors of the Institute. Also includes some ephemera, photographs, and notes, as well as a small amount of material documenting Kimball's earlier role as a member of the Building Committee which oversaw the development of the Octagon and related property in the 1920's.

Stratford Hall, the birthplace of Robert E. Lee, was built between 1730 and 1738 in the Georgian style. In 1929, the Robert E. Lee Memorial Association was incorporated as a non-profit organization and purchased Stratford, with the intent of restoring the Great House and outbuildings to create a memorial for the General of the Conferderate Army. The Association retained Kimball as restoration architect, a commission he completed with the assistance of Erling H. Pedersen.

The files are comprised primarily of Kimball's research on the house and its outbuildings and gardens, as well as a manuscript and typescript version of Kimball's report on the property. Also preserved are Ethel Armes comments on this report; Armes was a central force behind the home's restoration and author of "Stratford Hall," published in 1936.

Note that the majority of material related to this restoration, including all correspondence, were transferred to Stratford Hall on August 7, 1968.

Scope and Content Note

This small sub-subseries is comprised of correspondence detailing Kimball's involvement with an unrealized plan for the restoration of Tryon's Palace. The Georgian style palace, designed by English architect John Hawks as the Colonial Capitol of North Carolina and built between 1767-1770, had burned to the ground in 1798. Gertrude Carraway, a resident of the city and the vice-regent of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution of North Carolina, contacted Kimball in 1938 with the hopes of locating the original drawings for the building and raising interest in its restoration. Together, Carraway and Kimball located and publicized the architectural drawings, raised funds and WPA labor for an archaeological investigation of the site, and succeeded in having the property designated as a Historic Site by the National Park Service. Kimball also wrote a study of the building, which was published in the journal of the New York Historical Society. Also included is a small amount of correspondence with William Perry of Perry, Shaw and Hepburn detailing their disagreement over each other's involvement with the restoration. Kimball's participation ended abruptly in 1942 after this exchange with Perry and when World War II disrupted fundraising for the actual restoration work.

These records document Kimball's work on the Advisory Committee of Architects for Colonial Williamsburg, Incorporated, a non-profit institution dedicated to the restoration of the colonial and historic buildings of Williamsburg, Virginia. Colonial Williamsburg, Incorporated was founded in 1926 by Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, rector of Bruton Parish Church of Williamburg, and received financial support from philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. The Boston architectural firm of Perry, Shaw & Hepburn was appointed to oversee the restoration work. In late 1927, William Perry contacted Fiske Kimball to make arrangements to show him restoration plans for the main building at College of William and Mary, the first structure to undergo renovation. A year later, Kimball along with several other noteworthy architects was appointed to a newly created Advisory Committee of Architects, a position he held until at least 1952.

As an Advisor, Kimball participated in annual meetings to discuss the progress of the restoration, and sometimes served as Secretary. Between meetings, he corresponded regularly with Perry, Shaw and Hepburn as well as with various staff members of Colonial Williamsburg, Inc. in order to keep abreast of developments. Comrpised of correspondence and enclosed meeting minutes, architectural drawings, and ephemera, the records document Kimball's strong interest in the project and his support of a historically accurate renovation. For example, Kimball wrote to Perry, Shaw and Hepburn on March 13, 1929, criticizing a proposal to widen the pavilion on the main building of William and Mary College to make it more visually pleasing, "To take an old building, and under the guide of restoration, change a surviving feature into something entirely different, seems to me wholly unjustifiable...."

Scope and Content Note

This sub-subseries is comprised primarily of Kimball's correspondence with Perry, Shaw and Hepburn regarding their restoration work at Williamsburg. Most letters concern the clarification of architectural details for specific structures, although in some letters Kimball provides more general advice, such as on roofing material and heating and ventilation systems. Many letters contain enclosures, such as minutes from the annual meeting of the Advisory Committee of Architects. In addition, Kimball wrote extensively to Harold Shurtleff, head of the Research and Record Department at Perry, Shaw and Hepburn, which later became the Department of Research and Record of Colonial Williamsburg, Inc. With Shurtleff, Kimball discussed his own historical research, as well as that conducted by Shurtleff on behalf of the Williamsburg restoration. Kimball's other correspondents include Alvin Duke Chandler, the President of the College of William and Mary; W.A.R. Goodwin, Kenneth Chorley, A. E. Kendrew, A. Lawrence Kocher, and other staff members of Colonial Williamsburg, Inc.; and members of the Institute of Early American History and Culture.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball was a member of this commission created by Congress in June 1934 for the purpose of directing the erection of a memorial to the third United States President, Thomas Jefferson. In addition, he was a member of the committee to select an artist for the full-length statue of Jefferson. The memorial was dedicated on April 13, 1943, the 200th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson.

Arrangement

Organized into three sub-subseries, based on subject.

Scope and Content Note

These files contain brochures, clippings, correspondence, specifications, and vouchers related to Kimball's work as a member of the Jefferson Memorial Commission. A significant portion of the material relates to the controversial selection of a site for the memorial on the south bank of the Tidal Basin in 1937, and the equally contentious selection of John Russell Pope's pantheon-like design for the memorial. The correpondence files contain many letters with Daniel Paul Higgins and Otto R. Eggers, the architects who took over construction following Pope's death in August 1937. The subseries also includes a significant amount of technical information on the building's superstructure and caisson piles, and information about the inscriptions.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball served on the Committee on Sculpture which was charged with selecting a sculptor to complete a monumental bronze statue of Jefferson for the center of the marble rotunda. As such, Kimball and the committee developed a prospectus for the competition, selected finalists, and in October 1941, awarded Rudolph Evans the commission. Kimball was also concerned with the casting and installation of the central figure which was delayed until 1947 because of a war shortage of metals, and with the ancillary sculpture, inscriptions and pedestals. The records include contracts, correspondence, ephemera, and photographs, including those of models submitted by contenders. Additional information about the inscriptions can be found in the "Administrative files" subseries.

Scope and Content Note

Records in the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation subseries document Kimball's varied and important architectural, curatorial and administrative contributions to the restoration and maintenance of Monticello, the former home of United States President Thomas Jefferson. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation was incorporated on April 13, 1923 as a non-profit institution dedicated to the purchase and subsequent restoration and maintenance of Monticello, its lawns and gardens. Soon after its organization, Kimball, in his official capacity as Chairman of the American Institute of Architects' Committee on Preservation of Historic Monuments and Scenic Beauties, wrote to the Chairman of the Board, Stuart G. Gibboney, expressing his support for the Foundation and its goal, and volunteering his services. Gibboney responded asking Kimball "to form a committee of the American Institute of Architects and head it as chairman and cooperate with the Foundation."

Following the Foundation's purchase of Monticello from Jefferson Monroe Levy in December 1923, Kimball served as Chairman of the Restoration Committee overseeing the restoration of the house and grounds, as well as the refurbishing of the home's interior. The endeavor, and Kimball's involvement with it, lasted over thirty years. Also during this time, Kimball served as a member of both the board of Directors and of Governors, and was involved with publicity and other administrative functions related to the operation of the house as a museum.

The records are comprised primarily of Kimball's correspondence, as well as architectural drawings, fabric samples, photographs, research notes, clippings, and ephemera. The bulk of the material postdates 1937, when the Foundation finally paid off the mortgage and began the restoration and furnishing of the home in earnest. A small amount of this material documents the involvement of Kimball's wife, Marie, who joined the Restoration Committee in the late 1940s and was later appointed Curator.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball's zealous campaign to acquire through loans, purchases and gifts as many pieces of Jefferson's original furniture and decorative arts as possible for the Jefferson Memorial Foundation is documented here. Relying in large part on his contacts with the Coolidge family and other Jefferson descendants, initially gained when editing Jefferson's architectural drawings for the Massachusetts Historical Society, Kimball successfully located, and in more cases than not, acquired a large portion of the original Jefferson furnishings held by descendants. Kimball also acted as arbiter, determining what pieces offered for sale to the Foundation were authentic and which were fake, basing these decisions on his broad knowledge of French and American furniture, as well as his extensive research and writings on Jefferson. Working with André Carlhain in Paris, Kimball also negotiated the purchase of period pieces to supplement the original furnishings.

These files also document Kimball's involvement in the recreation of curtains, draperies, and bedspreads for Monticello, as well as the reupholstering of chairs and sofas, all in the manner he felt was most historically accurate. In one case, Kimball went so far as to have silk fabrics especially woven. The subseries also includes Kimball's inventories, object labels, and installation records, as well as correspondence with the house's caretaker. Object labels in the hand of Kimball's wife, Marie, attest to the couple's collaboration on some curatorial functions.

Scope and Content Note

Included here are correspondence, photographs, site plans, research material, and clippings pertaining to Kimball's varied involvement with Shadwell, a tract of land southeast of Monticello across the Rivanna River. Kimball successfully led the effort to definitively establish Shadwell as Jefferson's birthplace. He conducted archaeological excavations on the property in 1941 and 1942 on behalf of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, unearthing evidence of several structures. On April 13, 1945, he and his wife Marie participated in a conference sponsored by the Virginia Conservation Commission to debate whether Shadwell or Tufton was Jefferson's ancestral home. Kimball drafted the resolution adopted by the ad-hoc committee in support of Shadwell. Following the conference, the Thomas Jefferson Birthplace Commission was established with William Hildreth as President and Kimball as advisor. Hildreth served as Treasurer for the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, and it was his intention to purchase the property, reconstruct the home of Jefferson's father, and present it to the Foundation to administer.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball remained on staff at New York University as University Architect long after his departure from the University's Department of Fine Arts in 1925. While the University hired large firms to design their projects, it was Kimball's responsibility to oversee these projects. His duties included ensuring quality in building construction and campus development, saving on costs and monitoring uniformity in style of campus buildings at Washington Square, University Heights, as well as other adjunct campuses associated with the University at the time. The files contain correspondence with pertinent individuals at the University and architectural firms, letters of appointment, reimbursement vouchers, photographs, clippings, ephemera, carpet and wall paper samples, and architectural drawings. It appears that Kimball maintained this association with New York University until his death in 1955.

Records in this subseries document the construction and maintenance of Shack Mountain, the Kimballs' country home outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. After a four-year search for either a house or site on which to build, the couple purchased 110 acres on the ridge of Shack Mountain, where Kimball built his Jefferson inspired design. The house, an elongated octagon, was built by Kimball's friend Robert E. Lee of the Charlottesville Lumber Company between 1935 and 1937, and the couple spent summers and some holidays at the home regularly.

The records contain a significant amount of correspondence with the Kimballs' builder, lawyer, realtor, bank, and insurance agency, as well as many letters between the couple. While Fiske was in Philadelphia, Marie often stayed in Charlottesville to oversee the hunt for an appropriate property. Of particular note are the many architectural plans and elevations for the home drawn by Kimball, who considered at least four different Jeffersonian designs for the home. The subseries also includes information about the Kimballs' proposed but unrealized real estate venture to subdivide their land into the "Shack Mountain Estates."

Scope and Content Note

Records in this series document Kimball's involvement with three projects to identify, evaluate, and protect American historic and archeological resources. Two of the projects predate the Historic Sites, Buildings, and Antiquities Act of 1935, and are related to the early preservation efforts of private professional organizations, specfically the Archaeological Institute of America and the American Institute of Architects. In both cases, Kimball served as the chairman of a committee dedicated to fostering interest in and preservation of historic monuments, buildings, and art. The third subseries documents Kimball's involvement with the United States government and specifically, the National Park Service, as a member of the Advisory Board of National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments. This Board, created in response to the 1935 historic preservation act, advised the Park Service on the acquisition, restoration and management of historic sites.

Scope and Content Note

Comprised primarily of correspondence, this subseries documents Kimball's founding of the Archaeological Institute of America's "Committee on Colonial and National Art" for the purpose of fostering historical study of the nation's early monuments and works of art. During its life span from 1916 to 1927, the Committee actively sought to stimulate interest in American art and architecture by granting a small number of fellowships and publishing and delivering papers on related topics. As chairman, Kimball was responsible for recruiting committee members, raising funds, and corresponding regularly with the Archaeological Institute's President and Secretary. In addition, he served on the editorial board of the Institute's publication, Art and Archaeology, and lectured frequently on topics related to the Committee's work. An unrealized goal of the Committee was the undertaking of a national survey of historic buildings along the line of the National Park Service's Historic American Building Survey.

Scope and Content Note

Between 1922 to 1925, Kimball served as Chairman of the American Institute of Architects' Committee on Preservation of Historic Monuments and Scenic Beauties. This Committee was dedicated to "fostering all movements looking to the preservation of Historic Monuments and Scenic Beauties, and of increasingly extending the influence of the Institute through public service of this kind." During his tenure, Kimball expanded the Committee from six to nearly 50 members representing almost all Chapters of the Institute. The Committee's work was limited primarily to raising awareness about the importance of historic buildings and giving nominal support to grassroots preservation organizations. During his tenure, the Committee was involved in the efforts to preserve High Bridge and Madison Square Garden in New York City, the Ohio State Capitol in Columbus, Ohio, Independence Mall in Philadelphia, and various Colonial houses throughout the East Coast. The files are comprised primarily of Kimball's correspondence with committee members, including Thomas E. Tallmadge, and clippings.

Scope and Content Note

These records document Kimball's involvement with the National Park Service. Kimball accepted appointment to the Advisory Board of National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments in December of 1935 and served until June 30 of 1951, when a mandatory system of rotation retired him from service. He was appointed member of the Sub-committee on Historical Sites and Buildings at the second meeting in May of 1936. The Advisory Board, like the National Park Service's Historic American Buildings Survey, resulted from a national initiative to identify, document and preserve historical sites. The Advisory Board was charged with the specific task of, "acquiring, restoring and managing historical sites."

As a board member, Kimball attended regular meetings; reviewed and recommended buildings, sites and monuments for designation as historically significant; and suggested further preservation and/or development of sites already under the purview of the National Park Service.

Arrangement

Organized into three sub-subseries: Correspondence, Meetings, and Buildings and Sites.

Scope and Content Note

The bulk of this material is routine correspondence between Fiske Kimball and members of the Advisory Board and officers of the NPS. Correspondence also includes attached and related lists of eligible sites, travel vouchers, receipts, and organizational charts of the NPS. State laws and internal reports used to develop NPS policies and procedures are also included. Correspondence specific to buildings and sites, or related directly to Advisory Board meetings, is located in those sub-subseries.

Scope and Content Note

This series documents Kimball's role as advocate, advisor and/or committee member in various projects pertaining to art, art history, or American history. Two series, "Thieme-Becker" and "Corpus of Florentine Painting" demonstrate Kimball's sympathy toward German scholars of art history who were experiencing difficulty after World War I. In both cases, Kimball became advocate and fund-raiser for these scholarly works. In the case of the Rockefeller Center Advisory Art Committee, Kimball acted as advisor to help in the selection of artists to carry through a decorative program for this complex of buildings. The last three series all concern Kimball's invovlement with celebratory events surrounding the 200th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's birth. Kimball helped to organize events at a national and state level in Pennsylvania. He also was involved with a special exhibition celebrating Jefferson's life held at the National Gallery of Art and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

Arrangement

Each project has its own subseries, which are then arranged chronologically by the date of Kimball's involvement.

Scope and Content Note

Following World War I, Kimball was asked by the editors of Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Kunstler, a comprehensive dictionary of artists and architects known commonly as Thieme Becker, to oversee the compilation of the American biographies and to help secure financial backing in the United States to ensure the German publication's continuation. The records consists primarily of correspondence with the editors Fred C. Willis and Hans Vollmer; the publisher E. A. Seemann; potential donors; American contributors recruited by Kimball, particularly Blake-More Godwin, Lawrence Park, and Francis Hill Bigelow; and the various American libraries, museums and universities that subscribed to the dictionary, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the Fogg Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the New York Public Library, Princeton University, the Boston Public Library, the University of Virginia, and the Worcester Museum of Art. There are also draft biographical entires, proof pages, and memos.

Scope and Content Note

"A Critical and Historical Corpus of Florentine Painting" is a as of yet incomplete scholarly work on Florentine painting from the pre-Renaissance period that includes a vast amount of documentary, critical, illustrative and bibliographic material. Preparation and planning of the proposed 30-volume work was begun by German art historian Richard Offner as early as 1920. By 1930, the year of the first volume's appearance, Kimball had become very concerned with the work's success and for Offner's financial situtation. Offner was by then teaching at New York University, but the stock of his printed images and the collotype plates for the first fourteen volumes were in Berlin. In addition, Offner, who was solely responsible for the work's financial obligations, faced enormous hardship due to the economic down-turn in Germany following World War I.

Through his efforts, Kimball was able to raise funds in the United States to support the continuation of Offner's work, first through a grant by the American Council of Learned Societies, and later through subscription orders and independent donors. In addition, he negotiated with New York University to form a committee to oversee the distribution of funds raised to support the work. He sought the advice of lawyers, accountants, and financial institutions on Offner's behalf to stabilize the author's finances while satisfying his creditors. In addition, he worked extensively with Offner's Berlin office to secure the successful transfer of materials in December 1936 out of Germany to London, where printing of the work continued.

The records are comprised primarily of correspondence with Offner, his Berlin secretary Henrietta Hardenberg, and the New York University Committee on the Florentine Corpus. There is also correspondence with various printers, financial institutions, donors, and other supporters, as well as Kimball's administrative files related to the work's financing, production and distribution.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball correspondence primarily with the author, Richard Offner, and the secretary of his Berlin office, Henrietta Hardenberg, regarding the status of the work and related financial matters. Other topics included proposals for publishers, incorporation and funding, and logisitical concerns, such as the removal of plates and stock from Berlin to London. There is also a significant amount of correspondence between Kimball and other members of New York University's Committee on the Florentine Corpus, specifically the University's comptroller Leroy Kimball. The committee was formed in 1931 by the University's Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown to oversee the distribution of donated funds for the book's production. Correspondence with various publishers, printers, financial institutions, and donors, including the American Council of Learned Societies, Percy Straus, and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller is also included.

Scope and Content Note

In addition to other celebratory events, the Executive Committee recommended that the complete writings of Jefferson be published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth. Kimball was a member of the Advisory Committee appointed to oversee this undertaking. While planning began on "The Papers of Thomas Jefferson" as early as 1940, the first volume did not appear until 1950 (as of 2002, only 29 of the planned 50 volumes have been published).

The records are comprised primarily of correspondence between Advisory Committee members and with the editor, Julian P. Boyd; assistant editors, Lyman H. Butterfield and Mina R. Bryan; publisher, Princeton University; and sponsor, the New York Times. Other matieral includes brochures, memos, proof pages, and an early report by Julian P. Boyd documenting the need for and feasibility of the project.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball served on the festal committee overseeing the production of "Essays in Honor of Hans Tietze," a Festschrift produced in honor of the 70th birthday of Hans Tietze (1880-1954), Kimball's close friend and art historical colleague. As a committee member, Kimball advised Julius S. Held and the other editors on the selection of authors, negotiated for the volume's publication, and contributed the essay, "The Beginnings of the Style Pompadour," a supplement of sorts to his seminal book The Creation of the Rococo. While Kimball's essay was published separately by the Gazette des Beaux Arts in 1954, the entire volume did not appear until 1958, eight years after the event it was meant to commemorate, and three and four years following the respective deaths of Kimball and Tietze.

The material is comprised of Kimball's correspondence with Held, Tietze, the Gazette des Beaux Arts, and the Museum of Modern Art. There are also outlines and drafts from many of the essays, including those by E. H. Gombrich, Meyer Schapiro, and Paul Zucker. The manuscript and typescript for Kimball's essay is also included.

Arrangement

Organized in two sub-subseries based on type of material.

Scope and Content Note

Comprised primarily of Kimball's correspondence with Julius S. Held, one of the volume's editors, about the planning and production of the book. Held and Kimball also discussed at length a party to be held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate Tietze's 70th birthday, which they later cancelled because of concerns with Tietze's health. The sub-subseries also includes a small amount of correspondence with Tietze, the Gazette des Beaux Arts, and Alfred Barr of the Museum of Modern Art.

Kimball organized the Societe Mansart in 1950 for the purpose of raising funds by private subscription to purchase the Alfred Marie Collection of architectural tracings and other documents on French architecture under the Bourbons for the Library of Congress. As the organization's President, Kimball was in charge of fund raising and negotiating the acquisition of the collection's more than 3,000 documents, including those regarding Versailles, the Trianons, the Menagerie, Fontainebleau and other sites. The records are comprised primarily of correspondence with potential and actual subscribers; the staff of the Library of Congress, particularly Paul Vanderbilt; the American Institute of Architects regarding the exhibition of part of the Alfred Marie Collection at the 1951 annual convention; and with Kimball's close friend Alfred Marie.

In April 1954, Kimball was asked by United States Postmaster General Summerfield to oversee the United States Post Office's Program of Competition for the design of a limited number of postage stamps. The program was a collaboration between the Post Office and the Commission of Fine Arts, and offered an opportunity, according to Kimball, "to disseminate better taste...and to encourage the best artistic talent of the country by employing artists of ability." During his short involvement with the project, Kimball helped to define the program and identified potential artists and jurors to participate. The files are comprised primarily of his correspondence with staff of the Post Office and the Fine Arts Commission. He resigned in September because the project lacked the necessary enthusiam and financial support from the Post Office.

Scope and Content Note

In addition to his architectural and writing projects, Kimball earned a living as a teacher. By the time he came to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, he had taught at five universities, including positions as department head. Even as museum director, Kimball managed to fit in a summer session at the University of California in Berkeley in 1940. In this series, most of the correspondence pertains to Kimball's various administrative duties and occasional struggles of working in an academic environment. Files of lecture outlines and notes document the courses he taught and his approach to each topic. Various course assignments, exam questions, and student records are also included.

Kimball's first full-time position as an instructor in architecture came in 1912 at the University of Illinois. Based on the correspondence, his 1913 marriage to Marie Goebel may have contributed to his brief tenure at Urbana-Champaign. Marrying the daughter of a faculty member was in conflict with a supposedly abolished university rule banning the hiring of relatives. That same year Kimball left Illinois for the University of Michigan, where he taught and earned his doctoral degree. Kimball served first as an instructor in architecture and later in fine arts. Once again the correspondence suggests tension mounting, this time between Kimball and Emil Lorch, a professor of architecture, over Kimball's appointment and possible reappointment by Harvard University as a traveling Sachs Fellow. Kimball's later correspondence with Professor Richard Cross and others of the Fine Arts department contrasts the earlier conflicts, documenting the more routine issues of teaching and departmental administration. With his next position beginning in 1919 at the University of Virginia, Kimball's responsibilities greatly increased as he oversaw the establishment of the McIntire School of Fine Arts and taught as a professor of art and architecture. Both roles are documented in this series. Also included here are two files pertaining to Kimball's summer session in 1921 at the University of Chicago, for which he taught two classes in American and Renaissance Art. Resigning from the University of Virginia in 1923, Kimball went next to New York University, where he was appointed head of the Department of Fine Arts and Morse Professor of the Literature of the Arts of Design. Apparently prior to his acceptance of the NYU position, Kimball drew up the pros and cons of teaching poisitions at UVa, NYU and Princeton. That comparitive chart is filed here with his correspondence. Although no lecture notes are included with the NYU documentation, Kimball, in a June 25, 1925 memorandum written at the time of his resignation, refers to his lectures on the History of Art and of Decoration, and to the 118 lectures he was scheduled to give as Morse Professor at the National Academy of Design. In October 1932, Kimball returned to NYU to give two lectures and two months later was appointed lecturer for the following academic year. That documentation is included in the "Lectures" subseries of the "Writings and Research" series. Documentation of the history of art and the history of architecture courses he taught during the 1940 summer session at the University of California, Berkeley, is also included here.

Throughout his teaching career, Kimball apparently revised and reused previous lecture notes. Those files containing such mixed papers are identified by lecture topic, rather than institution, and conclude the series. Also within this group of topical folders are lectures that cannot be clearly identified with any particular university, as well as general reference materials.

Arrangement

Files are grouped by institution and arranged in the chronological order of each teaching position. Within each institutional group, correspondence folders precede other files. Folders identified by lecture topic only are alphabetically arranged at the end of the series.

Scope and Content Note

In addition to his contributions as a museum director and architect, Kimball was a highly regarded author who published scholarly articles, books, and book reviews throughout his career. This scholarly work provided Kimball with an modest, but important, supplement to the income he earned first as a professor, and later as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. More importantly, it established Kimball as an authority on the architectural work of Thomas Jefferson, the history of domestic architecture in the United States, and the development of the Rococo style in France, among other topics.

Kimball's first article, "The Arrangement of Photographs and Magazine Plates" appeared in the April 1908 issue of Brickbuilder magazine while Kimball was still a student at Harvard. By the time of his appointment at the University of Illinois, Kimball was publishing regularly. His second article, "Brick Manor Houses of France," which culminated from studies conducted abroad as Harvard's Sheldon Fellow, appeared in November 1912. In the spring of the following year, he was invited to write a book on the history of architecture for Harper's college textbook series. This book, which Kimball wrote with Harold Edgell, did not appear until 1918. During the interm, Kimball began work on Thomas Jefferson, Architect, a privately printed volume on Jefferson's architectural drawings which appeared in 1916. The work, according to one Kimball biographer, "immediately made its author's reputation." Kimball would continue to publish on Jefferson throughout his career.

Kimball published six more books between 1922 and 1948, including a seminal study of early residential architecture in the United States, a well-researched and much delayed book on the architecture of Samuel McIntire, and the Creation of the Rococo, the volume that according to one reviewer, assured Kimball "a rank among those art historians whose contributions become standard works in the field." This volume was also translated into French and published as Le Style Louis XV in 1949. In addition to his own books, Kimball also edited for publication H. Langford Warren's The Foundations of Classic Architecture following the author's death. This series includes manuscripts, typescripts, research material, illustrations, correspondence, and other material for all of Kimball's published books, as well as material related to five unpublished books, including a revised edition of American Architecture.

Several of Kimball's books resulted from studies published first as scholarly articles. Between 1908 and 1955, Kimball published approximately 200 articles in a variety of literary and art magazines and journals, including Art and Archaeology, Architectural Record, Antiques, the Nation, Gazette des Beaux Arts, the Dial, and the New York Times Magazine. Beyond the aforementioned subjects, Kimball wrote on Bemjamin Henry Latrobe, Philadelphia Chippendale furniture and other decorative arts, museum planning, and his own restoration and architectural projects, including Monticello, Gunston Hall, Tryon's Palace, and the amphitheater and gymnasium at the University of Virginia. Kimball also contributed introductions, forewords, essays, and biographical entries to various books on art and architectural topics. The majority of these published works are documented here. The series also contains records of Kimball's numerous book reviews and lectures, two additional media Kimball used for the advancement of his art historical ideas. Research notes and outlines for articles or essays that were never fully developed are filed in the "Research" subseries and "Other writings" subseries, respectively.

Material in the "Memoirs" subseries is noteworthy because it documents nearly every aspect of Kimball's professional life. It includes correspondence with friends, family and professional associates, clippings, ephemera and other material Kimball gathered with the intention of producing some sort of memoir, which he hoped would be published posthumously. There are also manuscript drafts for some chapters.

The "Writings of other individuals" subseries contains printed and draft versions of articles by others, including most significantly his wife and sister. The manuscript version of Marie Kimball's writings make evident the couple's colloborative approach to their scholarly work on Thomas Jefferson and Colonial architecture. In at least two cases, it appears as though Marie borrowed heavily in her articles from passages written by Kimball.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries is comprised of Kimball's research and publications regarding United States President Thomas Jefferson. A subject of life-long interest, Kimball worked diligently to establish in print Jefferson's importance as an architect. In addition, he wrote extensively on Jefferson's interest in the arts, including music and painting; compiled and published an authorative account of the portraits of Jefferson painted and sculpted from life; and sought to establish Shadwell as Jefferson's place of birth. Marie Kimball collaborated with her husband on Jefferson research throughout their lives, as demonstrated by the many research notes in her hand found throughout the Articles sub-subseries. Of special interest is the folder "Thomas Jefferson and the First Monument of the Classical Revival in America" which includes the manuscript, typescript and published version of Kimball's PhD dissertation for the University of Michigan concerning Jefferson's design for the State Capitol at Richmond, Virginia.

Arrangement

By type of writing: namely, book; published lecture; and articles.

Scope and Content Note

Following several reference inquiries to the Massachusetts Historical Society regarding Jefferson's architectural work, Kimball was asked by the Society's librarian, Worthington C. Ford, to edit the recently acquired Thomas Jefferson Coolidge Jr. collection of Jefferson's architectural drawings. The privately printed volume "Thomas Jefferson, Architect" was published in 1916. The records consist of Kimball's correspondence with the Society, extensive notes on each drawing in the collection, and chapter drafts and outlines. Also included are galley proofs, a printed version of the book, and reviews.

"The Life Portraits of Jefferson and their Replicas" was a lecture given by Kimball at the National Gallery of Art on April 18, 1943 as part of the 200th anniversary celebration of the President's birth. Kimball later gave the lecture again at the American Philosophical Society on April 12, 1944. The Society published the lecture in its Proceedings of December 28, 1944. The records consist primarily of Kimball's research material regarding artists who had portaiture sittings with Jefferson, as well as artists who created replicas from the life sittings. Other material consists of an abstract of the lecture, correspondence, illustrations, and the manuscript, typescript, proof and printed versions of the article.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries is comprised of Kimball's research and articles regarding the architect and engineer Benjamin Henry Latrobe who was active in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC during the first quarter of the nineteen century. Kimball spent the 1916-1917 academic year on a Sachs Research Fellowship in the Fine Arts conducting a thorough investigation of Latrobe's architectural contributions to the United States, assisted in his research by his wife Marie. This work resulted in published articles on the Bank of Pennsylvania, the Taft house in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Cathedral of Baltimore, as well as research files concerning Latrobe's involvement in the construction of the United States Capitol and alterations to the White House. Kimball later published on Latrobe's Bank of the United States (1925) and on his architectural drawings for New York City Hall and buildings in Virginia received by the Library of Congress (1946).

Arrangement

Writings subseries precede that of general research.

Scope and Content Note

Files consist primarily of manuscripts, typescripts, and printed versions of Kimball's various articles related to Latrobe's architectural work. Some files also include photographs, photostat reproductions of Latrobe's architectural drawings, and research correspondence, including letters received after publication.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball's research consisted of biographical and genealogical material regarding Latrobe, as well as research material on specific aspects of his career, such as his work as first Surveyor of Public Buildings in the United States. Other material includes extensive research correspondence; clippings; photographs; and copies of Latrobe's correspondence from various archival repositories with notable Americans, including Thomas Jefferson and Dolly Paine Madison. Kimball compiled photostatic reproductions of many of Latrobe's architectural drawings, including those for West Point Military Academy, the Unitarian Church in Baltimore, and the Aresnal in Pittsburgh; these, along with related research material, are organized geographically in the "Buildings and designs by Latrobe" folders.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries documents Kimball's writings, published and not, on the New England carver and architect Samuel McIntire (1757-1811). Documentation includes draft manuscripts, typescripts and accompanying photographs, prints and drawings, as well as clippings, notes and additional photographs that Kimball compiled as research. There is a substantial amount of correspondence filed separately within each sub-subseries as well as in many of the research files. The bulk of material pertains to the sub-subseries "Mr. Samuel McIntire, Carver, The Architect of Salem," which is also the title of the published volume. Kimball began working on this study in 1917, making it his first project about McIntire. Yet more than two decades passed before its publication. While that study focused on McIntire's work and influence on the architecture of Salem, Massachusetts, Kimball also wrote about furniture carvings by McIntire and his contemporaries. These writings were published in the magazine Antiques, and the material Kimball assembled for them comprises the next sub-subseries, "Articles re Salem furniture makers." The following sub-subseries "Other published writings" documents three much smaller works, such as encyclopedia entries. The final sub-subseries, "Furniture carved by Samuel McIntire," refers to the working title for another volume Kimball intended to publish based on his articles for Antiques magazine and his later research findings. The study was never published.

In addition to Kimball's personal scholarly interest in Samuel McIntire, he also oversaw the Museum's acquisition of some of McIntire's carvings, namely the interior architectural details to the Ezekiel Hersey Derby house in Salem.

Arrangement

By type of writing: namely, book; articles; other published writings; and unpublished writing.

Scope and Content Note

In 1917, George Dow, secretary of the Essex Institute of Salem, Massachusetts, informed Kimball of the institute's desire to publish in "a dignified and suitable manner" its collection of architectural drawings by Samuel McIntire. Impressed by Kimball's recently published book on Jefferson's architectural works, Dow invited Kimball to edit the volume and prepare an introduction. Although initially hesitant, Kimball accepted the offer and, as evidenced by the earliest date of material, began work on it immediately. The volume, however, was not published until 1940, which Kimball attributed to the intervention of "other preoccupations." This sub-subseries, arranged in three subgroups, documents Kimball's research, writing and editing of "Mr. Samuel McIntire, Carver, The Architect of Salem."

The first set of files consists of correspondence with various officers and personnel of the Essex Institute, the publisher, the grant sponsor, and to a lesser extent with other McIntire "experts," including private collectors, dealers and museum curators. Most of the correspondence is with Henry Wyckoff Belknap, Dow's successor as secretary of the Essex Institute. Working in Salem, Belknap provided Kimball with vast amounts of research, even after his resignation as secretary in 1931. Much of the additional correspondence with Belknap contained in the research folders is in strips Kimball cut in order to divide information among the pertinent topic files. There is also significant correspondence with the institute's secretary Howard Corning. Corning worked with Kimball in securing a publisher and dealing with the costs of publication. The "Third Party Correspondence" file consists of a letter Frank Cousins wrote to John Robinson, director of Harvard University's Peabody Museum. Cousins and Phil M. Riley published a book on the life and work of Samuel McIntire in 1916.

The group of files documenting Kimball's research begins with the "Program of work" file, which contains various notes outlining things to do and topics to examine. Most of the research files, which comprise the bulk of this sub-subseries, pertain to the "works cited" in the book and are identified as such along with the name of the house owner. Material includes postcards published by the Essex Institute, illustrating various buildings, clippings from the American Architect and Building News, a journal published from 1876 to 1908, and what appear to be Kimball's initial writings about the houses examined. Handwritten transcripts of deeds and probate records are also included. The remaining files, identified as "Publication" document the production stages of the book, while the last three folders pertain to the book's review and sales.

Scope and Content Note

This sub-subseries documents the eleven articles Kimball wrote for the magazine Antiques during the early 1930s. While most focus on furniture ornamentation attributed to Samuel McIntire, Kimball also wrote of other furniture carvers who were active in Salem, Massachusetts, during the same time period. According to a brief write-up in House Beautiful, Kimball's first article on McIntire's furniture carvings, written as a five-part series, served as the first scholarly examination to prove that the 18th century architect did such work. Papers documenting Kimball's article written in response to two articles by Mabel S. Swan, are also included. The printed versions of Kimball's rebuttal as well as Swan's December 1931 article are included.

In addition to files of general correspondence, the bulk of documentation is arranged by article. Each consists of manuscripts and typescripts, and most include the photographs or clippings Kimball marked up as figure illustrations to each article, as well as various research material. For Kimball's five-part series there are also printed versions of the articles, most of which Kimball notated with comments of further investigation. In a few article folders, some of the correspondence post-dates the year of publication. Most pertain to Kimball sending copies of the articles in answer to later inquiries.

Scope and Content Note

The earliest writing documented in this sub-subseries is a bound reprint of "The Elias Hasket Derby Mansion in Salem" published in the Essex Institute Historical Collections (July 1924). While the manuscripts and typescript pertain to the 1924 study, the printed copy contains Kimball's notations indicating some of the revisions that were incorporated into the Derby Mansion entry appearing in the 1940 publication. The remaining writings are biographical entries Kimball wrote for the Dictionary of American Biography (circa 1933) and the Encyclopedia Britannica (1947). Documentation consists of manuscripts and typescripts.

Scope and Content Note

By 1934, the year he wrote his final article for Antiques magazine, Kimball already was planning to assemble these writings and any later related findings into a book devoted to McIntire furniture. Based on comments in the preface to his 1940 publication of McIntire's architectural designs, Kimball still was planning to write such a volume. Although the book never came to fruition, Kimball compiled files for it, pulling much of the material he originally used for the articles, particularly the photographs marked up as figure illustrations. Identified by Kimball's working title for the intended publication, this sub-subseries consists of those files.

Some of the more frequent correspondents include the private collectors George Alfred Cluett and Maxim and Martha Codman Karolik, and Massachusetts antique dealers Frances Nichols of the King Hooper Mansion Galleries and Katrina Kipper. There is also a significant number of letters with Israel Sack, from both his New York and Boston firms. The brief descriptions intended to accompany figure illustrations appear to be for the book since the text differs from that in the Antiques magazine articles for similar entries. These writings are identified in the folder title as manuscripts (Ms). The sub-subseries ends with "Publication" files that include drafts of the book's preface and background on McIntire's life and works.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries contains typescript, manuscript and printed versions of articles by Kimball, as well as associated research material, illustrations, and correspondence, primarily with publishers. As in the case of Kimball's book contributions and lectures, he was interested in and wrote about a broad range of subjects. In many cases, Kimball's interest arose from his active participation in restoration or preservation projects. The majority of Kimball's articles focus on architectural subjects in Early America, but he also wrote on modern architecture and French architecture during the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XVI. His articles were published in a variety of journals, but most often in "The Architectural Record." Note that the "Worthy of their high mission" folder contains material pertaining to Kimball's appointment as Arnold W. Brunner Scholar of the Architectural League of New York, 1943. Articles pertaining to Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Henry Latrobe and Samuel McIntire reside in those individual subseries. Materials pertaining to the many articles Kimball wrote for the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Bulletin as well as articles publicizing the Museum in other journals are part of the Fiske Kimball Records and referenced below.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries is comprised of manuscripts, typescripts, research material, illustrations, correspondence and other material documenting several published and unpublished books by Kimball. In addition, the subseries also includes material related to H. Langford Warren's "The Foundations of Classic Architecture," which Kimball edited for publication following the death of the author. Like his articles and book reviews, most of Kimball's books pertain to French and early American architectural topics, specifically Colonial and Early Republica domestic architecture in America, and Rococo interior decoration in France. Material relating to Kimball's books on Thomas Jefferson and Samuel McIntire are processed in those individual subseries.

Arrangement

Chronological by date of publication; unpublished last.

Scope and Content Note

This book, first published in 1918, was one of a series of authoritative histories of art intended to be used as a text for college-level courses. George Henry Chase, author of the history of sculpture volume, served as editor for both the architecture and painting histories. In April of 1913, Chase enlisted Kimball to write the architecture history. Two years later Kimball sought out the expertise of George Harold Edgell, who contributed the Middle Ages chapters. A revised edition of the book was published in 1926, with Kenneth Conant contributing revisions to Edgell's section, as Edgell was unable to complete them himself. Included in this sub-subseries is correspondence with Harper and Brother, Chase and Edgell about the first and second editions of the book, and a complete typescript draft of the first edition, including illustrations.

Scope and Content Note

Following the 1917 death of Herbert Langford Warren, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at Harvard University, Kimball recovered and edited Warren's partial draft for the first volume of what he had intended as a three-volume, comprehensive history of architecture. Kimball wrote an introduction to accompany the essay, and it was published in 1919 by the Macmillan Company under the title "The Foundations of Classic Architecture," reflecting the limited scope of the work. The records are comprised of Kimball's correspondence with Macmillan negotiating the work's publication, letters to and from Warren's relatives, specifically his wife, daughter and his brother, who contributed the illustrations for the chapter headings. Also included is Kimball's heavily corrected copy of Warren's typescript including annotated photographs of nearly all the illustrations and a manuscript draft of Kimball's introduction.

Scope and Content Note

Fiske Kimball's groundbreaking third book evolved out of his lecture series on American architecture given at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in early 1920. The book, published in 1922 through Charles Scribner's Sons with support from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a heavily illustrated history of the evolution of early American architecture. Many of the houses discussed were further elaborated upon in Kimball's later writings. Material includes correspondence with William Sumner Appleton, Cass Gilbert, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a handful of Benjamin Henry Latrobe's ancestors, and others; Kimball's research material; a corrected typescript; illustrations and associated notes; and a personal copy of the printed work with Kimball's corrections.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball wrote this survey of American architecture from the Colonial period to the early twentieth century between the summer of 1927 and early 1928. Published in 1928 by Bobb-Merrill Company, the book was one of the first to offer a positive appraisal of modern architecture, and noteworthy for its chapter devoted to the architecture of Manhattan. Kimball's files consist primarily of correspondence with the publisher Bobbs-Merrill Company, the corrected manuscript, a partial typescript, and proof pages used for indexing.

Scope and Content Note

A result of ten years of study, Kimball's seminal book on the Rococo was published by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1943. Noted art historians Lionello Venturi and Erwin Panofsky praised Kimball and his work in distinguishing the Rococo style from the Baroque and for assigning artists to previously unattributed works. The book's publication and much of Kimball's travel expenses were funded by the American Council of Learned Societies. His dealings with the organization are documented in correspondence and material related to his grant applications, including endorsements from Venturi and Panofsky. The records also include correspondence with the printer, a corrected typescript, book reviews, and information about the distribution and sales of the book.

Scope and Content Note

A collaborative effort between Fiske Kimball and Lionello Venturi, art historian at the University of Rome, the highlight of this book is its high-quality color reproductions done by the Beck Engraving Company. Venturi primarily drafted the descriptions accompanying these reproductions, and Coward-McCann published the book in 1948. With the exception of Kimball's manuscript of the introduction and captions, most of the documentation is correspondence. In addition to Kimball's correspondents with his publisher, collaborator and engraver, other files pertain to distributing copies of the book, particularly to the museums whose holdings were featured in the study.

Scope and Content Note

The material included in this sub-subseries is a mix of notes for lectures and writings about the aesthetics of architecture. It is clear that Kimball intended to publish a book called "The Appreciation of Architecture," although this work never coherently materialized. The research Kimball did for this book, however, was not entirely abandoned. Elements found in the outlines, drafts, and notes appear in his later writings such as "American Architecture".

Outline, preface, research and lecture notes, circa 1916.
Box 154 Folder 17
Scope and Content Note

This book was to be a collection of nine or possibly ten articles, seven of which had been published previously in various periodicals from the years 1916 to 1918. The articles represent an eclectic group of topics, tied together only by their relevance to early American art and architecture. Kimball had planned on submitting the completed manuscript in 1920, however this book was never published.

Outline, partial draft and notes, circa 1920.
Box 154 Folder 18
Scope and Content Note

By the spring of 1949 Kimball was planning to write on the Louis XVI architectural style with his longtime friend and noted French interior designer, André Carlhian. In November 1951, Kimball sent Carlhian a draft of the book's foreword, which appears to be all he ever wrote. By the beginning of 1953, Kimball informed Carlhian that he was abandoning the idea, feeling that his project would not prove worthwhile or original. The one file to this sub-subseries consists of Kimball's draft manuscript and typescript, a few notes and several pieces of correspondence with Carlhian written between 1949 and 1952. Kimball's letter dated January 12, 1953, remains in the "General correspondence" series.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries includes manuscript and typescript drafts of chapters, introductions, forewords and entries for dictionaries and encyclopedias. Kimball's most extensive contribution was to be the architecture portion of Art and Architecture of France in the eighteenth century, an installment of the Pelican History of Art series that would follow the volume written by Anthony Blunt. Francis Watson, an expert on French painting and sculpture was to contribute the bulk of the text. Kimball began drafting the manuscript between late 1954 and early 1955, but was unable to finish it before his death. Manuscript and typescript drafts of chapters 1, 2 and 5, the introduction notes and bibliography of "Art and Architecture of France" are included in this subseries.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball supplemented his income and put forth his own scholarly opinions by writing a steady stream of book reviews for various academic journals throughout his career. He published most frequently with "Dial" and "Art and Archaeology," and often offered reviews to journals without solicitation. His reviews focused primarily on books dealing with architectural and Early American subjects. This subseries is comprised of typescript, manuscript and printed versions of the reviews, along with a small amount of related correspondence.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries consists primarily of the notes, outlines and manuscripts Kimball prepared for various lectures he gave throughout the country. Spanning a period of approximately three decades, Kimball spoke at symposiums, seminars, dedications and dinners, addressing a variety of audiences, from museum colleagues and other professionals to educators, students of art and architecture, patrons and the general public. He addressed a range of art-related topics, such as the role of art museums in education, American architecture and Philadelphia antiques. A few lectures focused on the repercussions of World War II. In these Kimball spoke of the destruction and preservation of European art as well as the importance of American museums remaining open during wartime in order to provide civilians and soldiers and sailors on leave with "spiritual refreshment." The one unidentified address written in French may date much earlier than the other material. The original folder noted that the manuscript was in Kimball's early hand, and several of the pages are on University of Illinois letterhead, which could date the document circa 1912. No other material in Kimball's papers appears to relate to this address.

A number of Kimball's lectures have no documentation other than being noted generally in correspondence. These lectures are included in the inventory with reference to the appropriate file within the "General correspondence" series. Documentation of Kimball's lectures about the Philadelphia Museum of Art, or given there, are part of the Fiske Kimball Records. Most are filed as "Public Speaking" files within "'Publicity" subseries referenced below.

Scope and Content Note

Although no such work was ever published, Kimball intended to write some type of memoir. Based on the only dated manuscript in this subseries, he began writing no later than 1933. More than a decade later, he was still jotting down ideas for such a work as made evident by the pages of possible titles and draft introductions. It also appears that Kimball considered at least three approaches in recording his life experiences, and the material in this subseries is arranged to reflect that. The first sub-subseries, "Reminiscences" consists of autobiographical material that appears to be the only version Kimball intended to include his early years of scholarly writings and architectural projects. The second subseries, "Memorabilia" reflects the title Kimball assigned to several folders consisting primarily of correspondence divided by decades and representative of his multitude of professional activities. The third sub-subseries, the "Golden Age of American Collecting," takes its name from Kimball's last dated working title for a book apparently intended to focus on art in relation to his experiences as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It contains the bulk of material, including most of his manuscripts and related research material. Although Kimball is critical of others in some of these drafts, he apparently intended nothing less than an all-out attack in yet another book idea that comprises and gives its name to the fourth sub-subseries, "Phonies in the Art Racket." Consisting of the sketchiest of outlines and one draft "chapter," this sub-subseries reveals Kimball's intention to take certain individuals to task. The final sub-subseries consists of some of the research material compiled by George and Mary Roberts, authors of Kimball's 1959 biography "Triumph on Fairmount: Fiske Kimball and the Philadelphia Museum of Art." The Roberts made extensive use of Kimball's draft memoirs, leaving behind not only the material comprising this sub-subseries but notes Mary apparently attached to sections of Kimball's manuscripts as well as notations written directly on the documents. In trying to determine the order of Kimball's papers, she also numbered pages originally unnumbered and added the initials "MHHR."

In addition to Kimball's draft writings and the Roberts material that could not be separated from those files, much of the documentation in this subseries is research material, consisting primarily of correspondence and clippings. Notes, ephemera and transcripts of other published articles and reports by Kimball are also included.

Arrangement

Chronological by estimated date of creation.

Scope and Content Note

Kimball apparently intended to present his life as it related to what he considered noteworthy topics. In the draft foreword he humbly submits that his experiences of childhood, youth and manhood gave him opportunities to know certain people and events worthy of portraying. Although the outline filed with the foreword includes the names of individuals Kimball encountered as museum director, it also refers to other institutions with which he formed an earlier affiliation. The remaining files consist of his manuscripts of three "chapters" that primarily document his work outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, namely his student days at Harvard, and his scholarly writings, historical renovations and a private architectural project. None of the material is dated. Because of the subject matter, a few items Kimball noted as "FK reminiscences" are included in the research files to the "Golden Age" sub-subseries. The only research file included here deals with Harvard professor Arthur Kinglsey Porter, who is noted in the outline. Kimball apparently decided to omit such an entry since his original folder was entitled "'Scholars-not needed."

Scope and Content Note

Based on the title he assigned to most of these files, Kimball apparently considered the material in this sub-subseries as documentation of the more memorable moments in his life. Based on the topics covered, those moments most often related to his writings as a scholar and his achievements as a museum director. As such, Kimball could have intended to use these documents, originally processed as a subsection of his personal papers, as reference material for a memoir. Correspondence from numerous professional colleagues in this country and Europe as well as with some family members makes up the bulk of material. Most of the letters carry praise for a certain book or article written by Kimball and which he previously sent to the correspondent. Correspondents include some of Kimball's university associates, as well as the architects Paul Cret and Frank Lloyd Wrigtht, the art historians Arthur Upham Pope and Bernard Berenson, and museum professionals, such as William H. Goodyear, co-founding curator of the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Kimball's tenure as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art is documented in letters of congratulations on receiving the appointment and in various clippings noting the positive impact of his efforts. Letters of commendation and personal appreciation from museum officers R. Sturgis Ingersoll and J. Stogdell Stokes are also included. Other letters underscoring a longstanding mutual respect and friendship are those sent by art historians Erwin Panofksy (1943-1944) and Walter Friedlander (1943). Although Kimball did not identify the last two files in this sub-subseries as "Memorabilia," both offer a sampling of eventful moments culled from Kimball's desk calendar and clippings.

Scope and Content Note

Whether "The Golden Age of American Collecting" was Kimball's final choice for a book title is unclear. In a 1946 letter to Roger Butterfield, a writer for the Saturday Evening Post and Life Magazine, Kimball stated that he planned to write a book that would give the "full story of many matters" relating to art collections and museums. His tentative title was "The Art Racket," and he assumed it would be published posthumously. However, papers dated 1951 reveal his ideas for a work entitled "The Golden Age of American Collecting: 1900-1950." While the draft outline consists of various categories of art and their respective collectors and dealers, as well as museums and scholars, Kimball noted in the upper left corner that this scheme was "Boring--too encyclopedic," and that it would be best to "limit it to those [he] knew well." This sub-subseries begins with the fragmented documentation of the various titles, outlines and introductions Kimball considered as summation of his experiences with the art world. The remaining files consist of his draft writings and related research files of various individuals, institutions and topics. For some of his subjects, Kimball gathered a substantial amount of reference material, as exemplified by the files documenting Dr. Albert Barnes, his attacks of the Museum, and the foundation that oversaw his vast art collection. One of Kimball's lengthier manuscripts discusses the history of the Widener family collection and the legislation supposedly written to favor its disposition with the National Gallery. In regard to that museum, Kimball assembled numerous clippings about its founding. In addition to collectors, Kimball wrote about the art dealer Joseph Duveen, and several museums, including the Metropolitan. Several "chapters" chronicle specific events at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA), such as "Exploiting the Depression," which describes the museum construction projects completed with WPA labor, and "The Struggle for Masterpieces," which details Kimball's pursuit of collectors such as Walter Annenberg. Finishing the sub-subseries are files of subjects for which Kimball assembled research material only.

Scope and Content Note

Based on the undated outline, this version of the "Art Racket" appears to focus on individuals rather than the topics Kimball alluded to in 1946. Although Kimball listed several potential targets in his outline, the only one for which there is a manuscript is Francis Henry Taylor, Kimball's curator of Medieval art from 1927 to 1931, who later became director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Scope and Content Note

In addition to the notes retained in many of Kimball's manuscript folders, this sub-subseries consists of other material probably assembled by the Roberts while working on their biography of Kimball. Included in the correspondence are two letters Kimball sent from Munich to Horace Jayne that were received posthumously, as well as his postcard to the Roberts, which they forwarded to Sturgis Ingersoll. There are also letters from Henry Clifford to Mary Roberts and a typed transcript of his to Henri Marceau recounting the events of Kimball's death. The transcript of an undated note to Richard Offner, in which Kimball apparently makes reference to the effects of the stroke he suffered, is probably in George Roberts' hand. The typescript of an interview, apparently conducted by the Roberts of Mrs. Thomas Fitz-Hugh, a friend of the Kimballs from Virginia, has been added to this sub-susbseries. It, along with what appears to be Roberts' transcript of a note from Kimball to Mrs. Fitz-Hugh, were originally processed with Kimball's personal letters. Other material the Roberts apparently reviewed, consisting of a copy of Kimball's will as well as memorial literature and obituary clippings, are now filed with Kimball's estate documents.

Scope and Content Note

Most of the material in this subseries documents writing topics Kimball intended to address but never developed beyond the briefest notations or outlines, including a bibliography of his own published writings. Several writings are more fully developed, but their publication venue unclear, such as his discussion of the elements from the Chateau de Cussac given to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1928. Earlier writings include what appears to be Kimball's rebuttal to an article disparaging the architecture of Harvard University as well as a few poems. The file completing this subseries also sums up Kimball's passion for writing. Jotted down on a slip of paper, Kimball's to-do list for the Summer of 1934 consisted of revising three writings, finishing another, preparing a related work and noting a few other possible topics.

Scope and Content Note

Documentation of some of the writings of Kimball's wife Marie comprise the bulk of this subseries and make evident the couple's shared interests in topics such as Thomas Jefferson and colonial architecture. In addition, Marie also published works about colonial and regional cooking. Her unpublished writing of Belmont, one of the colonial homes located in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, appears to have borrowed heavily from Kimball's Belmont article published in a 1927 Museum Bulletin. Another collaboration of sorts is the manuscript entitled, "The House on the Mountain." Kimball wrote this piece for Marie's use in her book "Jefferson: The Road to Glory: 1743-1776," which was published in 1943. According to a 1941 note filed with the manuscript, Kimball wrote this as a "valentine and tribute" of his wife's contributions to his 1916 book, Thomas Jefferson, Architect. Although Kimball claimed that the manuscript served only as "raw material," Marie did borrow many passages, as a comparison of text proves, and she kept Kimball's title for that of her eighth chapter.

Also included in this subseries is what appears to be a preliminary outline of a book about Frederick Law Olmsted, which his sister Theodora co-edited. There are also a few miscellaneous typescripts authored by others and reprints, annotated by Kimball, of articles by H. Langford Warren and A.J. Penty. For the latter, Kimball resorted to a few critical interjections of "Oh!" "Blah!" and "Bunk!" The reprint of Mary Kane's 1956 article of James Westhall Ford is included here since she relied on the research Kimball compiled for his article on the same artist.

Scope and Content Note

These files, consisting primarily of photographs and notes, consist of materials that relate generally or specifically to subjects about which Kimball wrote. The files are identified by subject, and portions of titles set in quotations represent Kimball's original folder description. Many of the "French architecture" folders contain photographs of figure illustrations Kimball used in several of his articles about Versailles published in Gazette des Beaux-Arts. A few additional photographs pertain to his book, The Creation of the Rococo. However, most of these folders also include notes or correspondence dating after the publication dates of any of those writings but prior to his 1952 contribution to "Art and Architecture of France." Three of the folders identified as "French art and architecture" document Kimball's research activities primarily while he was in Paris, and which he classified as "current," "old," "to do" and "done."

Scope and Content Note

Kimball compiled an extensive collection of reference material, most of which focuses on architecture. Subseries designations reflect the different ways he approached the subject and arranged his material. While the "card file" and "postcard collections" subseries are defined by document type, most of the remaining subseries refer to approaches in the study of architecture, namely by architectural style, building type and geographic trends. The "Other structures" and "World's fairs" subseries also have an architectural focus. "Furniture and art objects," "People" and "Subjects" include information on the fine and decorative arts as well as American history. In addition to the index cards and postcards, material consists primarily of photographs and clippings. Glass plate negatives, lantern slides, notes and photostats of floor plans and other drawings are also included.

Arrangement

This series combines material previously processed as three document-type series: architectural photographs; architectural clippings and manufacturers catalogues; and card files. Postcards were transferred from the "European trips" materials. Note that the architectural products vendor catalogues were given to the Athenaeum of Philadelphia in 2003. The two subseries identified by type of material precede those identified by subject. The latter set of subseries are arranged alphabetically, except for "Other structures," which follows "Building types" because of its related subject matter.

Physical Description

22 linear feet

Scope and Content Note

This card file appears to consist of several filing categories and functions. Most of the cards in Box 1 function like a card catalog, with bibliographic entries arranged by the Library of Congress classification number. Starting at "BH Aesthetics" and ending with "Z [bibliography, library science and information resources]," most of the cards pertain to bibliographic sources in the study and history of architecture. According to Kimball's notations on the divider card, the other set of cards, which precede the subject cards, contain miscellaneous information and were "to be filed." Although most of these cards are subject or research related, a "personal" section is included, consisting primarily of dental X-rays and a few registration cards with the local draft board.

The information filed in Box 2 is more varied. Approximately one-third of the cards are identified as "Lists of Names" and thus function like a Rolodex file of individual and corporate names, addresses and phone numbers. The next group serves as a chronological bibliography of Kimball's writings. Most of the remaining cards pertain to Kimball's research of Samuel McIntire and Benjamin Latrobe and consist primarily of notes rather than bibliographic sources. A handful of calling cards and a 1930s list of volunteers complete the box.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries of postcards provides a deltiologic survey primarily of European architecture. While most of the images are of building exteriors, there are a number of interior views, particularly those at Munich, Germany, as well as views of gardens and other structures, such as monuments and fountains. The last category of miscellaneous artwork includes two sets of postcards of the etchings of Rembrandt and Durer.

Scope and Content Note

The material in this subseries examines several styles in the history of architecture and consists primarily of clippings, multiple-part articles, photographs, and prints of drawings. Most of the files document a subject Kimball wrote about regularly--American domestic architecture of the Colonial and early Republic periods. Those files are identified here as ''American Colonial and Classical Revival." In addition to houses, a few other building types are also documented, and like the former, are further divided by region. The first subgroup of files identified as "American" consist of general surveys of architecture, with a few comments on modern. Another style with a substantial amount of documentation is "Elizabethan." The material consists solely of approximately 85 cyanotypes, all of which appear to be English interiors. Most are unidentified.

Scope and Content Note

Comprising the bulk of the "Reference material" series, this subseries documents architectural types primarily through clippings from professional journals, particularly the Brickbuilder and American Architect and Building New. There are also clippings from French and German publications. While most of the material illustrates building exteriors and floor plans, there are also full-text articles, as well as ephemera, photographs and prints. Many of the building types are subdivided geographically, representing American and European architecture, and range from private to public structures--from apartments to train stations. Houses of the United States and religious buildings are the most substantially documented. Dating of material is given at the subseries level only.

Scope and Content Note

Clippings comprise the bulk of documentation, most of which pertain to European monuments. The types of monuments illustrated include tombs and headstones in addition to commemorative statues and other structures. Kimball's references to "walls" consists of an excerpt from an 18th century publication and an article in a 1934 issue of Garden Gossip.

Scope and Content Note

Illustrations of decorative art pieces comprise the bulk of documentation in this subseries, suggesting that Kimball relied on design books published by or about 18th and 19th century cabinetmakers and other carvers. Many of Kimball's images note The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director by Thomas Chippendale as their source. Along with English furniture designs, there are also many images of French and American pieces. Kimball kept negatives of these illustrations and often attached a print of the image to the original envelope. Other documentation includes clippings, glass plate negatives and notes, as well as a 1923 issue of Gazette Des Beaux-Arts and a syllabus of a course on the History of Woven fabrics given in 1916 by R. Meyer-Riefstahl. The several files of art objects pertain to paintings and architectural elements, as well as a statue of William Pitt, a medallion of George Washington, and an engraving entitled "The Concert."

Scope and Content Note

Like his postcard collection but far more extensive in scope and size, Kimball's "Geographic" files document architectural styles around the world. Unlike the postcard subseries, most of this material focuses on architecture of the United States. Documentation consists primarily of photographs and clippings, but also includes lantern slides, glass plate negatives, notes, drawings and a map. Both public and private structures are documented--from palaces and cathedrals to country manors and colleges. Images consist of exterior and interior views and details of architectural elements. Many of the Pennsylvania images are of structures Kimball became well acquainted with while director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In addition to the museum, there are files pertaining to several of the colonial homes in Fairmount Park as well as the Philadelphia home of Samuel Powel. The photographic prints and negatives housed in Box 238 may have been taken by Kimball during his student days as they appear to be relatively early in date and of a somewhat personal nature. They document places in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia, and Christmas Cove, Maine.

While the architecture of Europe and America dominate these files, a few pertain to other locales such as Barbados, Egypt and East Asia. There are also some non-architectural images, such as the historic portraits and witch trial documents pertaining to Salem, Massachusetts.

Arrangement

Alphabetical by country and within each country subgroup, alphabetical by city or file subtitle. Files pertaining to the United States follow the "Scotland" file and are identified by state, along with any city or topical subtitles. Files pertaining to general locations rather than a specific country, as well as miscellaneous files, end the subseries.

Scope and Content Note

Most of the topics identified in this subseries relate generally or tangentially to Kimball's studies in art, architecture and early American history. The unidentified photograph of a cat and dog is an exception. While clippings and photographs comprise most of the documentation, there are also a series of oversize photostats Kimball made of the architectural drawings of John McComb Jr., the architect who designed New York City's Old City Hall of 1811. Correspondence and a few catalogues are also included, as well as a special issue of Vanity Fair devoted to America's Sesquicentennial.

Scope and Content Note

World's fairs provided Kimball with yet another source of architectural references. Most of the documentation pertains to the fantastic and fantastical buildings and other monumental structures erected for the 1893 Columbian Exhibition. Clippings, particularly from the American Architect and Building News, comprise the bulk of material. There are also photographs of other published references, some of which include Kimball's notations.
