- Scope and Contents
- Files contain materials organized by Hirsch and Rogo and concern their professional careers, commissions, projects, participation on committees, and general areas of interests. Researchers should note that some files contain extensive documentation on a subject while others may only contain printed materials. Stefan Hirsch was an active professor at Bard College (1942-1961) and Bennington College (1934-1940); those files may contain administrative records, correspondence from other faculty and administrative members, committee meeting minutes, financial material, contracts, student and recommendation letters, writings, and material on pedagogy. Of note are materials relating to Bard College's financial crisis. Hirsch's murals in Aiken, South Carolina and Booneville, Mississippi are documented in this series and materials may include correspondence, financial material, notes, and clippings. Records relating to Elsa Rogo's work with the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs are found here and include writings and notes, photographs, correspondence, and printed material. Other materials concern professional and personal travel to Europe and Latin America, exhibitions, Fulbright and Guggenheim grant applications, friends and mentors, other artists, and organizations.
