The collection was formed as a result of a Departmental practice of combining into one collection material of various accessions relating to a particular person, family, or subject. The tropers were a gift of the Estate of Albert Friend (Class of 1915), 1964 (AM 18113 and AM 18114). One quadriptych was a gift of H. Bertram Lewis, 1952 (AM 14645); the other, a gift of Professor Herbert Kessler, executor of the Josepha Weitzmann-Fiedler estate, 2001 (AM 2002-81).

For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
