- Scope and Contents note
- Nearly all of the negatives in this series depict artwork from the Perls Galleries inventory. There are at least two negatives depicting Klaus Perls with Alexander Calder in the Perls Galleries (see Box 59, Folder 17). There are two sets of index cards providing access and cross-references to the gallery's numbering system. The blue and green cards list artwork by artist name, geographical region, or African tribe, C-Z - the letters A and B are missing. Yellow cards list artwork by photograph number. The entries on the cards also cross-reference the gallery's stock numbering system.

Series 2: Negatives, is temporarily closed to researchers due to archival processing and digitization. Contact Reference Services for more information.
