Overview and metadata sections

Rhomaïdès frères

Greek photographers Konstantinos (d. 1900) and Aristotelis Rhomaides (d. 1916) were known variously as Rhomaides frères, the Rhomaides Brothers, and the Rhomaidae, although they sometimes signed their work as individuals. They are known for their photographs of classical sites in Greece.

Consists of research materials gathered by Rivinus (Princeton Class of 1950) documenting the legal case of 'Sally Frank v. Ivy Club, University Cottage Club, Tiger Inn and the Trustees of Princeton University', which was formally begun in 1979 and continues to the present (1991). Included in the Papers are correspondence (1986-1988), a manuscript and notes (1987-1989) for an article Rivinus authored about the case, legal briefs (1979-1989) of the case, and related newspaper clippings (1985-1991).
