Robert A. Yassin Papers

5 linear ft

The Robert A. Yassin Papers, 1963-1991, undated, contains records regarding the Indianapolis Museum of Art after Yassin took over as director from Carl Weinhardt. The collection contains records primarily sourced from the director’s office and documents the administrative actions of the institution from the director level. The collection is organized by subject, but the individual files are in original order with no further arrangement. Due to Yassin’s involvement with other organizations, researchers will find correspondence of value. Not all records fall within Yassin’s time as director. The records from before 1975 are copies, references, or continuations of projects started by past directors that were used or continued by Yassin. The records from after 1990 refer to what would have been at the time, future endeavors, predictions, plans, and aspirations that were started or conducted under or by Yassin.
