The Adolph Shulz Collection was originally acquired by the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 1971, at the time that the IMA acquired a series of Shulz artwork with the accession numbers 71.217.1-23. This collection contains black and white photographs of the Shulz family in the original photo album, including individual studio portraits of different members of the family through the years. There are several black and white landscape photographs of areas near the Shulz family home in Delavan, Wisconsin. Loose photographs portray Adolph frequently outdoors and several depict him sketching and painting. Other materials included are a handwritten description of a painting from September 24, 1917 and contact sheets and negatives of an unidentified scrapbook which contains sketches of multiple Shulz artworks. Three mounted black and white photographs of T.C. Steele paintings were stored inside of the photo album, and have been separated into an OVA folder.

The Garo Antreasian Study Collection was originally contained in four boxes, and was comprised primarily of original or xerox copies of published material. All publications were transferred to the IMA's Stout Reference Library to be cataloged individually as part of the "Garo Antreasian Study Collection." Archival material remained in the IMA Archives. Archival material includes Garo Antreasian's research notes, exhibition/workshop ephemera, correspondence, a John Herron Art School curriculum binder, and three mounted photographs. Sent with a letter from Bob Evermon of Cranbrook Academy of Art were test prints with annotations, which have been housed in OVB folders.
