- Scope and Contents
- Clippings include extensive newspaper and magazine clippings collected and gathered by Cornell, some of which were grouped under a topic or by a specific time. In general, the clippings found in this series include articles and textual clippings from newspapers and magazines, as opposed to cut-out images that may have been used more as collage or box source material. Groupings include clippings about art, animals, Joseph Cornell and his art, other artists, children, various other authors, artists, or performers, the Guggenheim, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, literature, music, New York City, Nyack, and Rorschach, among many others. Specific articles clipped from magazines and newspapers are also included, such as "Celestial Navigation by Birds" from "Scientific American." Newspaper clippings are from a variety of sources, including "Village Voice," "New York Times," "New York Times Book Review," "New York Times Magazine," "Christian Science Monitor," and "Times Literary Supplement," among others. Some clippings include minimal annotations, such as a "review" date, while others have extensive diary-like notes.
