The William Henry Fox Papers, 1884-1940, undated, contains records regarding the John Herron Art Institute while under the directorship of Fox after he took over from the unofficial first director of the museum, Anna Turrell. The collection contains records such as correspondence, financial reports, and acquisition data primarily sourced from the director’s office. It documents the early administrative actions of the institution. Note that administration reorganization has taken place since these records were created. Some current directorial responsibilities were being handled by various boards and can be found within the Boards and Committees Records collection (ADV 003). The collection is organized by subject, but the individual files are in original order with no further arrangement. The bulk of dates fall between 1902 and 1912. Researchers will find information regarding early correspondence and history of value.
