Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution 1997
THE ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN ART, founded in 1954 and a unit of the
Smithsonian Institution since 1970, provides researchers with access
to the largest collection of documents on the history of the visual arts
in the United States. The collection now totals more than thirteen
million items of original source material. consisting of the papers of
art world figures and the records of art dealers, museums, and other
art-related businesses, Institutions, and organizations. Original
material car be consulted, by appointment, in Washington D.C.; the
most actively used holdings are available on microfilm through
Interlibrary Loan or at Archives offices in Washington, New York. and
San Marino, California, or at research centers in Boston and San
Francisco.
Affiliation with the Smithsonian Institution makes the Archives part of
one of the world's great research centers for the arts and sciences. In
addition to its federal funding, the Archives raises a portion of its
annual budget from private sources. including its membership
program and contributions from individuals and organizations.
Reference Services. The catalogue of the Archives holdings is available
nationwide and internationally through the online Research Libraries
Information Network (RLIN). Reference requests or requests for more
information can be sent by Fax or mail to Reference Services at the
Washington office or by E-mail via Internet to: [email protected].

Foreword
Until now, scholars have had no central reference work
to help them locate the many original documents on
American artists to be found in Parisian archives. This
material, though plentiful and of considerable interest,
remains inaccessible simply because it has not been
systematically identified. The aim of the Archives of
American Art's Paris Survey Project has been to
redress this situation and make the records and
papers of American artists in Paris known to
researchers.
The origins of the project go back to 1986, when
Susan Grant, an art historian who had done her mas
ters thesis on French State patronage of American
artists in the late nineteenth century, submitted a
detailed proposal to then-director Richard N. Murray,
who enthusiastically endorsed it. In 1991 the Archives
applied for a grant to The Florence Gould Foundation,
supporter of so many worthwhile cooperative FrenchAmerican ventures. The Foundation's president, John
R. Young, graciously agreed to sup-port the project,
fully underwriting it.
A number of individuals have also encouraged and
fostered the enterprise. Mme. Françoise Cachin,
director of the Musées de France and formerly director
of the Musée d'Orsay, immediately responded and
effected the cooperation of that museum, stating that a
"collaboration de la Smithsonian Institution et du
Musée d'Orsay serait très souhaitable au moins pour
la deuxième pal-tie du xixe siècle et l'extrême début du
xxe siècle. Beaucoup de chercheurs internationaux
viennent travailler a la documentation" (letter, ll22/92).
Pierre Rosenberg, Presidertt-Director of the Musée du
Louvre, facilitated our work from its very inception. Sir
Valentine
Abdy,
Paris
representative
of
the
Smithsonian Institution and a member of its National
Board, vigorously supported the venture. The staff of
the Musée National de la Coopération Franco-
Américaine, Blérancourt, with whom we had fruitful
collaboration, also aided the project. Gwendolyn M.
Wells edited the guide, which Darcy Tell, managing
editor of the Archives of American Art Journal,
shepherded to publication. We wish also to thank
Susan Lehmann, who designed the guide; Hélène
Mason; and Barbara Kraft.
The final result is solely the creation of Susan
Grant, who has been indefatigable and resourceful in
locating the little-known or previously unknown
sources for the study of American art to be found in
repositories throughout Paris, and who has now real
ized in tangible form the conception that was hers a
decade ago. Ms. Grant's Guide to Archival Sources for
American Art will make the rich resources of French
repositories in Paris widely available to scholars, and
in so doing it will demonstrably extend the Archives'
purpose to advance research on the history of Amer
ican art and artists.

Preface and Acknowledgments Paris: A Guide to Archival Sources for American Art History
was conceived as a tool to help scholars locate
archival material germane to the history of the
American visual arts in Paris. Practical in orientation, it
provides essential yet not comprehensive information.
There are an estimated 170 art-related libraries,
archives, and research centers in Paris and the
surrounding Ile-de-France region, and documents
about American art history are found in many of them.
This guide contains brief descriptions of the more
important of those institutions with information about
the American material in their collections.
As the tide of this guide shows, the search for
archival documents was initially limited to institutions
in the Paris area. As the work progressed, however, a
few institutions elsewhere in France were surveyed
because their collections were related to those in Paris
or were obviously rich in American material. Most of
these institutions are to be found in Section II.
Each institutional entry attempts to provide an
overview of the entire collection, cites pertinent cat
alogues and inventories, and describes specific mate
rial related to American art history where possible.
The detail of the entries varies greatly and in part
reflects the state of each institution's inventories, the
willingness of archivists and curators to assist in the
search for American materials, and time limitations.
With few exceptions, the contents of this guide are
devoted to archives found in public institutions. For
the same complex reasons that French art collectors
remain discreet, preferring anonymity to recognition
and privacy to publicity, so too administrators of
many private archives prefer that their archives
remain closed.
The vast resources of Paris's photographic archives
have not been dealt with extensively in this guide due
to their volume and highly specific nature. For
different reasons, only basic information about
archival documents concerning American architects
has been included, although there is a considerable
amount of such material accessible; at least one sur
vey of it is now underway.
Path: A Guide to Archival Sources for American Art His
tory is the result of the collaborative efforts and the
support of many individuals. In the United States,
thanks go to John Young and the Florence Gould
Foundation for funding the Paris Survey Project and
this guide. At the Archives of American Art in
Washington, D.C., Dr. Richard J. Wattenmaker, its
director, championed the project. In Paris, Sir
Valerttine Abdy provided valuable contacts. Lini
Janssens of the Cultural Services at the U.S. Embassy
in Paris, Brigitte Labat-Poussin at the Archives
Nationales, and Isabelle le Masne de Chermont at the
Archives et la Bibtiothèque Centrale des Musées
Nationaux were all extremely helpful in responding to
questions and clarifying complex issues about French
archival systems. Main Beausire at the Musée Rodin,
Hans Buijs at the Institut Néerlandais, Colette
Giraudon at the Musée National Picasso, Sylvie
Péharpré at the Musée National de la Coopération
Franco-Américaine de Blérancourt, Laure de Margerie
at the Musée d'Orsay, Anaïs Pouvillon at the Ministère
des Affaires Etrangères, and Elisabeth Wisniewski at
the Bibtiothèque Centrale du Louvre helped guide me
through their institutions. At the American University
of Paris, Toby Stone, University Librarian, and Dr.
Madeleine Fidell Beaufort generously gave their time
and helped to orient the project. Man Albright, Jean
Jenger, Pauline Prévost-Marcilhacy, and Jocelyne
Rotilly all provided encouragement and good counsel.
Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Lois Marie Fink,
without whose support, from the outset of the project
until her review of the final manuscript, this guide of
Paris archives would never have been completed.

Introduction
Works of art by American artists are found scattered
across Paris. A large mural by Albert Herter overlooks
arriving and departing travelers at the Gare de l'Est six
portraits by George Catlin now hang at the Musée de
l'Homme, while Daniel Chester French's equestrian
statue of George Washington dominates the place
d'Iéna. Archives concerning these works of art, along
with a vast number of other records about the
thousands of often obscure American artists who
resided in Paris during the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, were located while preparing Paris: A Guide to
Archival Sources for American Art History. Documents
were not only identified at the Archives Nationales,
France's largest archival repository, but also at
numerous other public and private institutions,
archives, ministries, libraries, and museums through
out Paris. The breadth, diversity, and complexity of
these sources reflects the innate French reverence for
archival material—a tradition that predates Louis XIV.
Paradoxically, where one would have expected
information to be plentiful, often there was none.
Relatively little or no archival material was found that
shed light on the often-cited American Art Association
of Paris, the Parisian sojourn of the nineteenth-century
American painter G. P. A. Healy, or the activities of
American artists in Paris between World Wars I and II.
In contrast, there is abundant material about
Americans who studied and worked in Paris at the end
of the nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries, in
instances when they were enrolled in state-sponsored
schools or exhibited their art in the official Salons.
Obvious absences of archival records may be the result
of destruction wrought during the Paris Commune and
two world wars, or may simply reflect the fact that not
all American
artists who came to Paris were affiliated with either
government institutions or other entities whose papers
are held in the Parisian archival collections surveyed
for this guide.
A series of French laws enacted in 1978 and 1979,
like the Freedom of Information Act in the United
States, has facilitated access to archival documents
held by public institutions. Under these laws, archives
are defined as "all documents, regardless of their date,
form or medium, produced or received by individuals,
legal entities, or public or private services or
institutions in the course of carrying out their activi
ties" ("les archives sont l'ensemble des documents, quels que
soient leur date, leur forme a leur support matériel, produits
ou reçus par toute personne physique ou morale, et par tout
service ou organisme public ou privé, dans l'exercice de leur
activité" [Loi # 79-18 du 3 janvier 1979, Article premier]).
This definition is sufficiently all encompassing that
libraries and even databases, in addition to material
conventionally considered "archival,- fall within the
purview of the legislation.
The laws also establish the general principle that
after given time periods, ranging from thirty to 150
years depending on the nature of the document, all
public archives may be freely consulted. This
legislation has resulted in a spate of publications
concerning French archives and their contents. The
Archives Nationales now regularly publish lists of
public archives; see Us Archives publiques en France
(Paris: Archives Nationales, 1992). Even more relevant
to the present study is the guide Les Sources de I'histoire
de l''art en France (Paris: Association des bibliothécaires
français, 1993), which briefly describes French
libraries and centres de documentation (research centers)
devoted to the history of an, architecture, and
archaeology. On request, most Parisian archives and
9
libraries readily provide updated, precise inventories
of material in their collections. For example, detailed
inventories are available of the manuscript collection
at the Bibliothèque des Musées Nationaux and of
documents at the Archives des Musées Nationaux;
both are replete with references to American art,
artists, and collectors. The Musée National Picasso has
just completed an inventory of its photographic
archives, and preparation of a similar inventory of its
manuscript collection has been initiated. These cur
rent inventories help scholars keep abreast of the
contents of public archives and libraries, which are
continually in the process of acquiring new material.
Not all relevant archival guides are recent, however.
Two, Mireille Rambaud's Les Sources de l'histoire de l'art
aux Archives Nationales (Paris: Imprimerie Nationale,
1955), and Ulane Bonnell's Guide des sources de
I'histoire des Etats-Unis dans les archives françaises (Paris:
Expansion, 1976), remain indispensable complements
to the present guide. The first of these guides provides
precise and essential descriptions of public Parisian
archives, their organization, and the location of
archives concerning art history, while the second
contains information about the location and contents
of material about American history to be found in
major archival institutions in Paris.
As already noted, consultation of most material in
public archives is permitted once specified time periods
have elapsed. Prior to those dates, dérogations
(dispensations) may be obtained allowing exceptional
and immediate access to documents (e.g., with a
dérogation scholars can have access to the records at
the Archives Nationales concerning American artists
who studied in France after World War II under the
G.I. Bill). Occasionally, however, public archives may
be arbitrarily declared to be inaccessible to the public,
for example by a director when a collection is being
inventoried, or by a curator who is preparing a
publication.
While the 1978–1979 laws guaranteed eventual
consultation of all public archives, they specified that
private archives held in public institutions would
remain governed by the terms of their bequests and
the rights of the ayants-droits, the heirs of the archives'
authors and subjects. For example, most archival
material at the Musée National Picasso and the
Bibliothèque Littéraire Jacques Doucet is restricted by
the rights of the ayants-droits. In order to consult those
holdings, scholars must first go through the legal
procedure of requesting permission(s).
In contrast to public institutions, according to the
1978–1979 laws, private institutions, museums, gal
leries, dealers, and private archives, such as the Musée
Dapper, Durand-Ruel et Cie, the Wildenstein Institute,
and the Archives de la Fondation Erik Satie,
10
are free to determine their own rules about who, if
anyone, can review their archives and on what
conditions. Such private institutions may discourage
unsolicited outside scholars.
Archives about French national museums and their
collections, such as those of the Musée du Louvre and
the Musée d'Orsay, are found either at the Archives
Nationales or at the Archives des Musées Nationaux,
with additional material at the Bibliothèque Centrale
des Musées Nationaux. Thus, for instance, records
concerning the State's acquisition of James Abbott
McNeill Whistler's Arrangement en gris et noir no.1 or La
Mère de l'artiste for the Musée d'Orsay's predecessor,
the Musée du Luxembourg, are found in the Archives
Nationales, while further relevant material exists in the
Archives des Musées Nationaux. Additional archival
documents held by individual national museums tend
to be found either in curatorial files or in their research
centers.
Unlike the national museums, the municipal muse
ums managed by the city of Paris—including the
Musée Bourdelle, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville
de Paris, the Musée du Petit Palais, the Musée
Carnavalet, and the Musée Zadkine, among others—
have neither centralized archives nor a central library
devoted to their collections. The Bibliothèque His
torique de la Ville de Paris has documents about
American artists who lived and worked in Paris, and
the Archives de la Ville de Paris have records and
material about exhibitions held in the municipal
museums. Each municipal museum independently
maintains its own archives and manages curatorial
records for the works of art in its collections. The city,
however, keeps an inventory of the works of art it owns
and their location.
While no entries about the municipal museums
appear in this guide, mention should be made of the
Musée Zadkine, which offers scholars both a research
center and readily accessible archives with documents
about American artists, galleries, and collectors. In
contrast, while it is known that Antoine Bourdelle had
American students in the 1920s, inventories to his
archives at the Musée Bourdelle were not available for
consultation. The library of the Musée d'Art Moderne
de la Ville de Paris, which purportedly has an extensive
collection of twentieth-century exhibition catalogues, is
restricted to all except the museum's staff. Similarly,
the papers of the American philanthropist and
collector Edward Tuck, held at the Musée du Petit
Palais, are not easily available to scholars.
A natural extension of researching this guide was to
locate American art in Parisian museums with the
hope of finding other relevant archives. Most museums
were unable or unwilling to provide lists of their
American holdings. However, the Direction des
Musées de France has undertaken the task of inven
torying the entire French national collection of art.
Although this inventory, appropriately called 'La
Joconde" and available on the Internet, is far from
complete, it is of potential use to scholars in locating
not only American works of art but also archival
records in Paris and elsewhere in France.
Public libraries, unlike public archives, may restrict
access to their collections. Scholars may be asked to
produce a letter of introduction from a supporting
institution attesting to their qualifications before being
issued a reader's card. That is the requirement at the
Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the largest library in
Paris and in France. Divided into numerous
departments, each with endless reserves, this library
holds a wealth of material related to American art. A
survey of these collections was not, however, under
taken for this present guide. The library has been in a
state of flux following the decision to move its largest
department (books, periodicals, and rare books) from
the roe de Richelieu to its new Tolbiac complex on the
left bank of the Seine by the end of 1997.
As part of this massive reorganization of the
Bibliothèque Nationale de France's collections, a biblio
thèque des arts (a library devoted to the arts) is
envisioned at the rue de Richelieu site. According to
pre-sent plans, the Bibliothèque Nationale de FranceRichelieu will continue to house the Bibliothèque d'Art
et d'Archéologie Jacques Doucet and specialized
collections, including the departments of maps and
plans, prints and photographs, manuscripts, coins and
medals, and royal treasures. (There is speculation that
to complete this bibliothèque des ar ts the collections
presently housed at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal will
join the rue de Richelieu complex.) The plans include
the eventual creation of an Institut National d'Histoire
de l'Art, a separate research center devoted to art
history, to be located adjacent to the Bibliothèque de
France-Richelieu complex.
Among other institutions with archives not surveyed
for this guide are the Centre Nationale de la
Cinématographie, the Manufacture Nationale de
Sèvres, the Ministère de la Défense et de l'Armée de
Terre (with its collections concerning World War I and
international expositions in the twentieth century), the
ne wly created Archives du Patrimoine, and the
archives of the American School of Music at
Fontainebleau.
As noted in the preface, photographic archives held
by public and private agencies and departments of
photography in museums and libraries were not sur
veyed systematically. Vast numbers of photographs by
and of American artists and their work, well beyond
the scope of this guide, are found in Parisian
institutions. For instance, the Cabinet des Estampes
et de la Photographie of the Bibliothèque Nationale de
France, already a rich repository, has American prints
and photographs, and has recently campaigned to
broaden its collection of contemporary photography; in
so doing it has acquired hundreds of photographs by
American artists. To accommodate scholars' immediate
needs for photographs of American artists or works of
art by Americans, a short list of archives artd agencies
is included at the end of the guide.
An introduction to this guide would not be complete
without mention of cultural differences. Scholars
coming to Paris to conduct research in American art
history must realize that their topics may not ring
familiar to many French museum curators, librarians,
and archivists. Although contemporary American art
and culture have become a national French preoccu
pation, American art history remains a curiosity.
Nevertheless, archival records reveal that a century
ago in France, the careers of Mary Cassatt, John
Singer Sargent, Henry Tanner, and James Abbott
MacNeill Whistler were considerably bolstered by a
national program of arts patronage in much the same
way that Jennifer Bartlett, Julian Schnabel, Ellsworth
Kelly, and James Bishop today enjoy the recognition of
having their work exhibited in major Parisian
institutions. The present situation shares many other
parallels with that of century ago, leaving little doubt
that future guides to Parisian archives will include just
that much more material about American art in Paris.
N.B.: This guide is organized by institution and
includes addresses, information about accessibility,
and telephone and fax numbers (when these numbers
are called from outside France the country code 33
must be added and the initial 0 of the number
dropped).
Occasionally, the archival material surveyed for this
guide contains aberrant spellings of artists' names and
anomalies in alphabetization. To facilitate the efforts of
researchers to locate this material within the actual
archives, such errors have been transcribed as they
occur. When possible, however, misspelled names have
been marked with an asterisk, and the correct spelling
is provided in brackets.

Section I: Paris Sources
American Cathedral of the
Holy Trinity
23, avenue Georges V
75008 Paris
Tel: 01.53.23.84.00
Fax: 01.47.23.95.30
Access: The archives of the American Cathedral are
open by appointment only.
Description: The American Cathedral of the Holy
Trinity, an Episcopalian church, holds records of bap
tisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials per
formed at the church since 1859. The names of many
prominent expatriate Americans figure in its roster of
parishioners in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, among others the Cassatt family, the
Edward Darley Boit family, William Dannat, Daniel
Ridgeway Knight, the Havemeyers, the J. P. Morgans,
Dr. Theodore Evans, John Singer Sargent, and
Edward Tuck. The Cathedral also houses a triptych
(1907) by Edwin Austin Abbey, and archival material
that sheds light on the activities of expatriate
American artists, including:
• An incomplete run of the Church's monthly publi
cation, The Parish Kalender (1886-1914: missing: 1888,
1889, 1895, 1898) in which the activities of the
American art community in Paris were regularly
noted. For instance, The Parish Kalender regularly
announced American art exhibits and the activities of
the American Art Association of Paris, as well as
various events held at St. Luke's Chapel, and 'benefits'
for the Cathedral's Holy Trinity Lodge and Hospital.
• A complete run of the Church's monthly
publication The Church of the Holy Trinity Bulletin,
1918-1980.
• Several chapters from Cameron Allen's
unpublished article The History of the American
Episcopal Church of Paris from its Origins to 1918,"
documenting the history of the American Cathedral
and its involvement in what would eventually be
known as the American Center of Paris. He discusses
activities at one of their buildings, Reid Hall, where
American organizations including the American Girl's
Club and the American Art Students' Club regularly
held art exhibitions. With the outbreak of World War
I, Reid Hall became a hospital for wounded French
and American soldiers.

• 'American Soldiers' and Sailors' Club Paris, 1917
1919" (approximately 100 pages), a scrapbook
compiled by Mrs. Frederick W. Beekman. It includes
names, addresses, and newspaper clippings that
report on American organizations such as the Amer
ican Soldiers' and Sailors' Club, Elsie de Wolfe's
Hôpital Bénévole in Compiègne, the American Art
Association, the American Students' Club, and the
American Red Cross.
• "American Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Paris,
1918-1925" (approximately 100 pages), a scrapbook
that continues in the same vein as the earlier scrap
book and includes notices of exhibitions of American
paintings held at the American Women's Club in
1921, the consecration of the Gould Memorial Church
of the Holy Trinity at Maisons-Laffitte, and obituary
notices of prominent parishioners.
• "American Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Paris,
1929-39' (approximately 100 pages), a last scrap-book
that presents through press clippings a vivid history of
the American Center, then called the American
Students' Club. This organization, initially supported
by prominent members of the Cathedral, was an
integral part of American (art) students' lives in Paris,
although it seems to have had little to do with the
careers of prominent Left Bank Amer
can artists and writers, such as Man Ray or those in
the Sylvia Beach circle.
American Chamber of Commerce of
Paris 21, avenue George V 75008 Paris Tel: 01.40.73.89.90 Fax: 01.47.20.18.62 Access: The library of the American Chamber of
Commerce of Paris is open to the public on Tuesdays
and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A nom
inal fee per visit is charged.
Description: The American Chamber of Commerce of
Paris was founded by Rodman Wanamaker in 1894.
Both Frederick Frieseke and Paul Wayland Bartlett

library, devoted to archives, records, and publications
about commercial relations between France and the
United States, has no material which directly concerns
American artists. It does, however, house a complete
run (from 1925 to 1940) of Ameri cans in France, a
Directory (Paris: American Chamber of Commerce),
published annually for and about Americans living in
France.

Description and General Guidelines: The Archives
Nationales hold a vast number of documents relating
to the history of American art. How-ever, because over
the centuries documents have been, and continue to
be, irregularly transferred to the Archives and then
indexed idiosyncratically, doing research on a specific
subject can require consulting numerous separate
répertoires (indexes) of individual collections called
séries or sous-séries.
The starting point for any research is the general
five-volume survey of the Archives' collections, L'Etat
général des fonds. It apologizes for 'la complexité extreme
du système de côtation des Archives Nationales" and
the lack of a comprehensive detailed inventory. Crucial
to the art historian are L'Etat général des fonds, volumes
II and IV (Paris: Archives Nationales, 1978, 1980). In
addition, two guides can be consulted: Les Sources de
l'histoire de l'art aux Archives Nationales (Paris:
Imprimerie Nationale, 1955) by Mireille Rambaud, and
Le Guide des sources de I'histoire des Etats-Unis dans les
archives françaises (Paris: Expansion, 1976) by Ulane
Bonnell.
The bulk of the documents relevant to American art
history can be found in three separate collections:
"Série F: Versements des Ministères et des Adminis
trations qui en dépendent"; 'Série AJ: Fonds divers
remis aux Archives Nationales"; and "Série AS:
Archives d'Associations." The documents contained in
these collections vary considerably in their nature,
complexity, and material form. Moreover, French
archival terminology has evolved over time—a fact that
may result in some perplexity for English-speaking
scholars.
Each of the collections below is subdivided into
smaller sous-séries. Typically, each sous-série in turn
contains a number of dossiers—in French usage a
generic term designating a file, irrespective of its size.
Large or small, a dossier may itself contain a wide
range of heterogeneous materials such as smaller files
or folders, ledgers, notebooks, and the like. In prepar
ing this guide, an effort has been made to provide
readers with a sense of the "shape" and composition of
these disparate materials. To facilitate the efforts of
scholars to locate material within the actual archives,
14
the information has been transcribed as found, with
occasional anomalies in alphabetization and spelling
preserved. When verifiable, misspelled names have
been marked with an asterisk, and the correct spelling
provided in brackets.
Série F: Sous-Série F-12 and Sous-Série F-21:
Série F, the "Versements des Ministères et des
Administrations qui en dépendent." includes archives
from almost all French ministries and governmental
organizations and institutions. (Archives not held at
the Archives Nationales include those of the ministries
of Finance, Army, Navy, and Foreign Affairs.)
Scattered throughout the Série F are many groups of
documents about the government's activities as they
relate to the fine arts, in particular the archives of
Commerce and Industry (Commerce et Industrie) and
those of the Administration des Beaux-Arts. The
Sous-Série F-12 contains documents about the
Universal Expositions, in France and elsewhere,
conceived initially and primarily as commercial and
industrial fairs. While documents concerning the fine
arts sections of those fairs are also found in the
archives of the Administration des Beaux-Arts (Sous
série F-21), the Commerce and Industry archives
contain both photos and key administrative
documents about the fine arts sections and the
expositions as a whole. Complementary archives
relating to the government and the fine arts from the
Revolution through the Second Empire are also found
in the Sous-séries F under the Ministère de l'Intérieur,
the Ministère d'Etat, and the Ministère de la Maison de
l'Empereur.
Sous-série F-21 comprises the archives of the
Administration des Beaux-Arts, initially deposited at
the Archives Nationales in 1906. Under this broad
heading can be found not only documents about the
international fairs referred to above, but also a wide
variety of documents about the Salons, Statesponsored art schools, acquisitions and commissions
of works of art by the State, the administration of
national and provincial museums and the location of
works within those museums, la Monnaie the Mint),
and the Manufactures Nationales (the Statesponsored porcelain and tapestry factories). More
recently, archives concerning the fine arts have been
integrated into a new sous-série, that of the archives
of the Ministère de la Culture.
Série AJ: Sous-série AJ-15, Sous-série AJ-52, and Sous
série Ad-53:
Série AJ, a hodgepodge of public archives, includes
three sous-séries with documents about Americans
who sought or obtained art instruction in Paris at the
Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, the Ecole
Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, or the
Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. In one file in
Sous-série AJ-I5, the archives of this latter institution,
appear the names of a few American artists who
attended anatomy classes from 1878 to 1910 under
the auspices of Emmanuel Frémiet.
Sous-série AJ-52, the archival records of the Ecole
Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, contains a
wealth of documents from the early decades of the
nineteenth century through the 1960s about American
artists who sought or obtained instruction at the Ecole
Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts or its affiliated
ateliers. According to statistics and records maintained
by the Ecole, there was a steady decline in the number
of Americans studying painting and sculpture from the
1880s until the end of World War II. In contrast,
enrollments of Americans studying architecture grew.
Like most sous-séries, the AJ-52 collection is orga
nized not in chronological order but rather according to
when different documents were turned over to the
Archives Nationales by the Ecole Nationale Supérieure
des Beaux-Arts. First in 1972, then again in 1978, 1983,
and again in 1989, the Ecole deposited an important
number of documents with the Archives Nationales
that are now mostly incorporated in this collection. The
records of the school are grouped by administration, col
lections, personnel, elèves (students), enseignement (teach
ing), concours (competitive examinations), and
comptabilité (accounts), and are divided into registres
(registers), and /lasses (files). So, for example,
complementary and duplicate records concerning
student enrollment can be found in registres or liasses
under both the eleves and concours categories. In most
instances, records of the painting and sculpture sections
are held separately from the architecture section, and
documents about American architects are only
mentioned in passing in this guide. The types of
documents held in this series are primarily official
(applications and attendance records, for example) and
not personal (letters, diaries, and so on).
Sous-série AJ-53, the archives of the Ecole Nationale
Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, is organized in much
the same manner as Sous-série AJ-52. Popularly
referred to in the press during the nineteenth century
as "la Petite Ecole," the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des
Arts Décoratifs was founded in 1776 as the Ecole
Impériale et Spéciale de Dessin. Later it was known as
the Ecole Royale Gratuite de Dessin en faveur des
métiers relatifs aux arts, the Ecole de Mathématiques
et Dessin en faveur des arts
mécaniques, and the Ecole Nationale de Dessin et de
Mathématiques pour ('application des Beaux-Arts a
l'lndustrie. In 1877 a reform led to the founding of the
Ecole as it is known today. The teaching and goals of
this school, different from those of the Ecole des
Beaux-Arts, emphasized the acquisition of skills and
techniques, preparing students for careers as artisans
and not as fine artists. Thus the curriculum in 1873
1874, when a large number of Americans were enrolled
at the school, offered courses in drawing, sculpture,
mathematics, architecture, the history of art, and
decorative arts, as well as instruction in printmaking
techniques.
Although the surviving archival documents are
incomplete, with notable gaps regarding the concours,
the enrollment ledgers include many American names.
Lenient admissions policies allowed Americans and
other foreigners literate in French to enroll at ages as
young as ten, with only proof of identity from an
embassy or consulate.
Séth AS: Sous-sirie AS-16 and Sous-série AS-63:
Série AS, the Archives' collection of records of non
profit associations or societies, includes material about
the Sous-série 63 of the Académie Julian and the
Sous-série 16 of the Union des Arls (Fondation Rachel
Boyer). Several studies about the Académie Julian
have hinted at the richness of these archives, which
include many American names in the school's
enrollment records and accounting ledgers covering
the period from 1890 to 1932. The archives of the
Union des Arts include references to the activities of
American arlists during and just after World War I.
Le Minutier Central des Notaires de Paris:
The Archives Nationales also house the Minutier
Central des Notaires de Paris which can be of partic
ular value in locating specific works of art. These
notarial records, gathered from the 122 notary offices
in Paris from 1471 through 1979 and organized
chronologically by notarial practice, include records of
legal transactions (property titles, marriage con-tracts,
and wills and last testaments) executed in front of
private notaries. Only documents executed more than
100 years ago are held in the Archives Nationales. The
Minutier Central des Notaires de Paris does not
contain departmental and communal archives, such as
those found at the Archives de la Ville de Paris, which
contain birth, marriage, and death records for the city.
The Archives Nationales hold the inventories to the
French departmental archives.
Instruments de recherche (Research Aids):
Among the databases developed by the Archives
Nationales are "Léonore," the only inventory available
to the archives of the Légion d'Honneur, Soussérie L.
H.; and "Arcade,' an inventory of the Sousserie F-21
related to State purchases and commi
15
sions of works of art in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. 'Léonore" consists of an alphabetical listing
of dossiers of those individuals nominated to the
Légion d'Honneur, among which figure the names of a
number of American artists. -Arcade" is a database
that is intended to irtcorporate information from all
the documents concerning State purchases of works of art (painting, sculpture, graphic arts, decorative
arts, arts photography). Both 'Arcade" and 'Léonore" can be consulted without charge in the Salle des Inventaires at the CARAN and through the database "La Joconde" (see Internet and Databases). F-12 4236: Commerce et Industrie, Expositions: Exposition

AJ-52 670: Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts, Peinture et Sculpture. Inscriptions des elates aux contours, 1872–1880. An enrollment book, chronologically arranged, listing
students registered at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts for
semi-annual admissions in the painting and
sculpture sections as well as other annual and semi
annual competitions (e.g., the 'Concours au Grand
Prix de Peinture et Sculpture? the -Concours de fig
ures modelées d'après ('Antique," the 'Concours de
figures modelées d'après nature,' or the 'Concours
d'archéologie"). Although American names are
found scattered throughout this book, the most sig
nificant number are found in the semi-annual admis
sions to the painting and sculpture sections (the
"Inscriptions aux concours des plates"). (This list
should be cross-referenced with information found in
AJ-52 911-918.) Included with the students' last
names are a registration number, a notation of the
section to which he is applying (P: painting; S: sculp
ture), the name of a professeur-chef d'atelier at the
Ecole des Beaux-Arts and, in some instances, mention
whether the student was accepted (r: reçu). The
following American names, presented here in order of
occurrence, were culled from these files:

A
chronologically arranged enrollment ledger with the
names of foreigners who applied to the Ecole des
Beaux-Arts from 1875 to 1902. The ledger includes a
total of 3,174 names along with the date of the stu
dent's application, a matriculation number, the stu
dent's nationality, an area of concentration, the name
of a professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and
remarks. Over the course of three decades the infor
mation provided in this ledger becomes increasingly
less detailed so that by 1902, only the names, nation
alities, and current addresses are noted. American
names culled from this register are listed by year in
their original order of occurrence, and include area of
concentration ( P : Painting; S: Sculpture; A: Architec
ture) and professor when available.

Sous-série AS-63: l'Académie Julian
The microfilmed records of the Académie Julian held
at the Archives Nationales contain information about
the men's ateliers attached to the school from 1890 to
1932. A detailed listing of those Americans who
attended the Académie Julian, based on the docu
ments at the Archives Nationales, is available for
consultation through the Musée de Blérancourt.
Divided into nine parts, the collection includes a
student listing (1919) and financial ledgers ((ives de
comptabilité des élèves). For complementary information,
see the Gazette de l'Académie Julian, held in the
Département des Périodiques at the Bibliothèque
Nationale. The ledgers (livres), organized by atelier,
show each student's name, current address, place and
date of birth, dates of enrollment and payment, and
include an index of students' names and matriculation
numbers. (Unfortunately, the frames of the AS-63
microfilms are neither numbered nor otherwise
identified.)

Archives de la Ville de Paris
18, boulevard Sérurier
75019 Paris
Tel: 01.53.72.41.23
Fax: 01.53.72.41.31
Access: The Archives de la Ville de Paris and its library
are open Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m., Monday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and
Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Archives are
closed during the first two weeks in August and on
Saturdays in July and August. A reader's card is
obtained on the first visit by showing a valid I.D. and
presenting a passport-size photo. On Saturdays, only
documents that have been reserved three days in
advance can be consulted.
Description: The Archives de la Ville de Paris are the
repository for a wide variety of records and documents
pertaining to the history and demography of
the municipality of Paris. Its collections complement
those found at the Bibliothèque Administrative de la
Ville de Paris and the Bibliothèque Historique de la
Ville de Paris.
The Archives de la Ville de Paris hold few documents
from before 1871 because of the events surrounding
the Paris Commune, when the Paris city hall and most
municipal records were destroyed. (Many but not all of
those records have since been reconstituted.) Although
none of the collections housed in the Archives de la
Ville de Paris are specifically related to American art,
documents within its collections mention numerous
American artists who lived, studied or worked in Paris.
(Some documents concerning municipal monuments,
including statues by American artists, are also to be
found in the files of the Bureau des Monuments.
Affaires Culturelles de la Ville de Paris, 31, rue des
Francs-Bourgeois, 75004 Paris.)
The documents held by the Archives de la Ville de
Paris include the city's cadastral records (detailed
records of property ownership and occupancy),
commercial and business records (financial and
bankruptcy records for private enterprises including
art dealers), and civil and diocesan records (birth, bap
tism, marriage, and death notices) through 1892. Later
records are held in the mairies (city halls) of each
arrondissement. Given the number of American artists
who lived and studied in Paris at the end of the
nineteenth century, records such as these provide
valuable clues to otherwise obscure aspects of their
Parisian existence. To expedite cadastral research, the
library of the Archives de la Ville de Paris makes
available by special request a continuous run of Paris
directories, starting in 1805. The first such directory,
Almanach du Commerce de Paris, published in 1805,
lists not only the 'principaux habitants de Paris' along
with their addresses, but also hotels, restaurants, and
the names and addresses of professional painters and
sculptors. By 1840, this directory had become the
Annuaire Général du Commerce, de l'Indus-trie, de la
Magistrature et de l'Administration, ou Almanach de
500,000 de Paris, and included each inhabited dwelling
by street. These directories are also found at the
Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris and at the
Bibliothèque Nationale.
Other collections in the Archives de la Ville de Paris
contain material related to the municipality of Paris
and its museums, the decoration of its buildings and
the erection of monuments, public celebrations and
commemorations, art exhibitions, the Salons, and the
Universal Expositions. Of particular interest are the
archives of the Compagnie des Commissaires-Priseurs
de Paris, the Parisian state-appointed auctioneers,
which include the minutes of art auctions held at the
Hôtel Drouot in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, and thus contain information about
49
the sales of works by Americans and purchases by
American collectors.
For a more detailed description of the Archives de la
Ville de Paris, see Christiane Demeulenaere-Douyère's
Guide des sources de l'état civil parisien (Paris: Imprimerie
Municipale, 1983); Geneviève Gill's Les Archives de I'Ile
de-France (Services d'Archives de Paris, de Seine-etMarne, des Yvelines, de l'Essonne, des Hauts-deSeine, de Seine-Saint-Denis, du Val-de-Marne, et du
Val d'Oise, 1989); Lucien Lazard's Inventaire
alphabétique des documents relatifs aux artistes parisiens
conservés aux archives de la Seine, Bulletin de la Société de
l'Histoire de Paris et de I'Ile-de-France (Paris: H.
Champion, 19u6): Mireille Rambaud's Les Sources de
l'histoire de l ' a r t aux Archives Nationales (Paris:
Imprimerie Nationale, 1955); and Bernadette Gérard's
"Série V.R., Beaux-Arts et la Ville de Paris: Répertoire
numérique" (typed index, 1979).
The collections of the Archives de la Ville de Paris
are catalogued in "Série D." by county or
administrative department, and in 'Série by
municipality. The following list describes the
collections relevant to American art history and how
they are organized:
Sous-série D. 1 P4: Fonds Cadastre, U s Calepins du
Cadastre (1852—1900).
These cadastral records contain information gathered
by the city to assess property for municipal taxes dur
ing the second half of the nineteenth century. The
records, first established in 1852, were updated in
1862, and again in 1876 and 1900. Under this system
each building in the city was catalogued by street and
number and assigned a dossier (here, essentially syn
onymous with a calepin or notebook). These note
books include the names and addresses of the
property owners and renters (as well as the amount of
the rent), descriptions of the exterior and interior of
the building, and how its surface area was divided up.
(The cadastral records for the city of Paris after 1900
are divided between the Service de l'Urbanisme
[architectural plans] and the Service des Impôts
[habitation] de la Ville de Paris.)
Sous-série V. 2 E - V. 5 E and Sous-série 5 M 1 3 - 5 M 14:
Fonds de ('état civil
The civil records (birth, marriage, and death notices)
for the city of Paris are organized by name prior to
1860 and by arrondissement from 1860 to 1892. From
1892 these records are held in the mairies of each
arrondissement. B the arrondissement is not known,
scholars may consult the records at the "Greffe de
l'état civil du Tribunal de la Grande Instance," 2-4
boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris, where copies of civil
records are held. Burial records are held at the
Bureau des Cimetières de la Ville de Paris, 5 bis rue
Curial, 75019 Paris.
50
Sous-série D. Q 7 (1791—1853) - Sous-série D. Q 8
(1830—1850—1899).
These sous-séries, 'tables de décès et déclarations de
succession" contain information on death certificates
and provide probate information (the name of the
notary and dates) about estates. This information can
then be used to trace the estate records at the
Archives Nationales where copies of wilis are kept on
file and those more than one hundred years old are
open to the public. See the Minutier Central des
Notaires, Archives Nationales,, 87, rue Vieille-duTemple, 75003 Paris.
Sous-série V. D 6: Fonds des Mairies (1801—1925).
This collection includes a wide variety of information,
organized by arrondissement, including civil status
records and declarations of residency in Paris, as well
as other documents concerning the Préfecture de
Police and the population of Paris.
Sous-série D. E 3: Fonds des Commissaire-Priseurs de
Paris (1801—1989).
N.B.: Sous-série D. E 3 is held at the Centre
d'Archivage de Villemoisson-sur-Orge, Archives de
Paris, 3, rue de Corbeil, 91360 Villemoisson-sur-Orge;
Tel: 01.69.51.53.77.
The archives of the Compagnie des CommissairesPriseurs de Pads, the state-appointed auctioneers,
were given to the city of Paris in 1954. Since then,
records of individual commissaires-priseurs have been
deposited on a regular basis. These archives contain
chronological accounting ledgers (déclarations de vente
and états de vente) and detailed minutes (procès
verbaux) of art auctions throughout the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. Access to archives over one
hundred years old is unrestricted. To consult more
recent archives, permission must be obtained from the
commissaire-priseur under whose jurisdiction those
particular archives fall. The list of commissaires
priseurs, first established in 1802 and found in the
Tableau des nominations et mutations de la Compagnie des

Files on the Salons and other art exhibitions in Paris during the first part of the twentieth century. Includes detailed minutes of sales conducted by
commissaires-priseurs and inventoried by auction

of the seller, where the sale occurred, the date(s) of the
sale, the name of the commissaire-priseur, a detailed
list of what was sold, for how much, and often to
whom. In each file is the agreement between the

The library not only houses an "American" collection
(primarily material pertinent to political and
commercial relations between France and the
United States), but also a large collection of
catalogues and special publications relating to the
Universal Expositions, including architectural
drawings and photographs. These latter documents
are part of the library's photography, print and
drawing department, which holds material on
municipal buildings and monuments and which
complements the collections at the Archives de la

Access: The archives of the Musée National d'Art
Moderne are housed in the Documentation du
Musée National d'Art Moderne-Centre de Création
Industrielle, the MNAM-CCI, at the Centre Georges
Pompidou. The research center is open from 2:00
p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday. Access to this facility is permitted to
scholars with a reader's card, obtained by presenting
an I.D. photo and justification for carrying out
research. It is closed the month of August. Prior to a
visit, scholars wishing to consult the archives are
advised to contact the archives librarian requesting
an appointment and explaining the purpose of the
visit. The MNAM-CCI should not be confused with
the Bibliothèque Publique d'Information, also
housed at the Centre Georges Pompidou.
Description: The MNAM-CCI, which serves as the
curatorial library for the staff of the Musée National
d'Art Moderne, contains a variety of materials, books,
periodicals, sales catalogues (1908–1966), exhibition
catalogues, photographs, and slides. It provides access
to the databases 'Mistral," "Vidéomuséum," and "La
Joconde" and to many current CD-ROMs, including
-Myriade" and 'Artbibliographies." The MNAM-CCI
also houses documents relating to the collection of
twentieth-century art housed in the Musée National
d'Art Moderne at the Centre Georges Pompidou.
The MNAM-CCI archives include documents
(manuscripts, notes, photographs, ledgers, letters,
etc.) about artists, art dealers, an critics, and
collectors, together with a large number of
invitations to gallery openings, all dating from World
War 1 to the present day. Some of these documents
are inventoried in the 'Fonds Général.- Others are
inventoried separately in -Fonds Paniculiers" or
individual collections, which may or may not also be
covered by the "Fonds Général."
A preliminary guide, Guide des fonds particuliers con
servés d la documentation générale du MNAM-CCI (Paris:
June, 1995), describes the contents of a number of
individual collections (fonds), and also lists gallery
archives, including those of the Galerie Collette
Allendy, the Galerie Arnaud, the Galerie Jeanne
Bucher, the Galerie Charpentier, the Galerie Iris
Clert, the Librarie-Galerie La Hune, the Galerie des
Quatre-Chemins, and the Galerie Rive Gauche. Sep
arate detailed inventories of these coHections,
"Inventaires sommaires," are available at the Biblio
thèque des Collections upon request.
While a comprehensive inventory of the archives has
yet to be published, the MNAM-CCI periodically
publishes an issue of the bulletin Cahiers du Musée
National d'Art Moderne devoted to some aspects of the
archives collection. Although the MNAM-CCI holds
only two American collections, the Fonds Man Ray
and the Fonds Alexander Calder, the following doc
uments concerning Americans were identified in the
"Fonds Général" and several "Fonds Particuliers":

Description: The Archives des Musées Nationaux
include in their collection not only archival docu
ments concerning the history of the Musée du Lou
vre, its collections, exhibitions, benefactors, and personnet, but also similar material about the institu
tions and national museums presently under the
auspices of the Direction des Musées de France.

A preliminary inventory of this collection, "Inven
taire des fonds anciens et modernes des archives du
Louvre el des Musées Nationaux," is in preparation
and available for consultation. Photographs that were
once pan of this collection (including photos of works
of art and exhibition installations) are now held at the
Service des Archives Photographiques, Mission du
Patrimoine Photographique. Other complementary
archives may also be found at the museums
themselves as well as in the Archives Nationales. The
holdings of the Archives des Musées Nationaux are
classified by institution under general headings such
as Direction des Musées de France, Réunion des
Musées Nationaux, Ecole du Louvre, and Musée du
Louvre. The archives of the Musée d'Orsay and its
predecessors, the Musée du Luxembourg, the Musée
d'Art Moderne du Palais de Tokyo, and the Musée du
Jeu de Paume, as well as the Musée de l'Orangerie
and other national museums in Paris, are found under
the heading "Musées nationaux dans Paris." Archives
concerning the Musée National de la Coopération
Franco-Américaine de Blérancourt, the Musée National
du Château de Versailles, the Musée National de
Fontainebleau, and other national museums outside of
Paris are classified under "Musées nationaux hors de
Paris.' The Archives des Musées Nationaux also
possess archival documents concerning the Salons (ca.
1824—1863) and the Universal Expositions (1867).
American names appear throughout these archives,
most often as artists whose works were acquired for
the national museums and as benefactors of the
Musée du Louvre, the Musée de la Coopération
Franco-Américaine de Blérancoun, the Musée du
Château de Malmaison, or the Musée du Château de
Versailles. The archives of the Ecole du Louvre include
information about American students and university
exchanges in the twentieth century. They also contain
theses written by students at the Ecole du Louvre,
catalogued by author and title. Archival documents
concerning exhibitions, classified by institution and
chronologically, include material about various
exhibitions in France and the United States, such as
"L'Exposition de l'Ecole américaine' at the Musée du
Luxembourg in 1919, Art américain: trois siècles d'an
américain" at the Musée du Jeu de Paume in 1938,
and The Golden Gate Exposition" in San Francisco in
1939.
Among the documents concerning the Musée du
Louvre and the Musée du Luxembourg are registers of
copyists. These registers contain a variety of infor
mation about artists who copied works of art at the
L o u v r e (1823—1973) and the Luxembourg (1872—
1934). Some registers list chronologically the names
and addresses of the artists, painters, and sculptors
who were given permission to copy in these
58
museums, while other registers list only the copyists'
names under the titles of the works of art which were
copied. None of the registers mention nationalities.
The staff of the Archives des Musées Nationaux,
however, has recently begun to prepare a compre
hensive listing of the names and dates found in these
registers. Once completed, this index should provide a
useful tool for locating the names of American
copyists. The staff of the Archives des Musées
Nationaux has also recently undertaken the indexing
of a massive collection of unrelated documents con
cerning artists associated with the national museums
in which American names appear.
The following are examples of the types of infor
mation available in the copyist registers. The name of
Mme MacMonnies appears in a register of copyists at
the Louvre (vol. L L 27, 1893—1920) in 1904 under
"Ecole Italienne, Le Mariage, de Correggio." Similarly,
a chronological register at the Luxembourg (vol. 2 H H
19), covering the years from 1896 to 1914, shows that
between 1896 and 1899 no less than six anists copied
Julius Gari Melcher's La Maternité, while others copied
John McLure Hamilton's Portrait de Glad-stone and
James A. M. Whistler's La Mère de l'artiste.

Description: The archives of Durand-Ruel et Cie
include material related to the commercial activities
of the Gallerie Durand-Ruel, active in Paris from
59
1840 to 1974 (with archival records beginning in
1864), in New York from 1888 to 1950, and in Lon-don
from 1870 to 1875. Documents and records include
the gallery's financial ledgers, day books, catalogues, a
collection of over 23,000 photographic reproductions of
works of art handled by the gallery, and
correspondence. Reproductions from the photography
collection are available for a fee. Of particular interest
are the dealings of the gallery's founder, Paul D.
Durand-Ruel (1831-1922), with American artists as
well as dealers and collectors, Mary Cassatt, the
Havemeyers, George A. Lucas, and Samuel P. Avery.
among others. Since access to these archives is
restricted, and no comprehensive catalogue of its
contents is available, a survey of its American material
was not possible.

Access: The library of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure
des Beaux-Arts is open to graduate students and
scholars from l:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mon-day through
Friday. It is closed during school holidays (summers
included).
Description: The ENSBA library includes books,
periodicals and newspapers that complement the
academic curricula at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure
des Beaux-Arts. It also houses a manuscript collection,
a vast photography collection, and a collection of
drawings which were awarded distinctions in the
annual competitions sponsored by the ENSBA.
Whereas catalogues for the written material and a
database of the Ecole's art collection are available for
consultation at the library, there is no similar inven
tory of the drawing collection. Original registers of the
annual competitions, available for consultation at the
ENSBA, provide a partial inventory to this collection
and include American names. Other registers with
more information about American participation in the
competitions as well as archives concerning the
history, management, faculty and student body of the
Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts are held at
the Archives Nationales.

Access: The archives of the Fonds National d'Art
Contemporain (FNAC) are open to the public by
appointment only.
Description: The Fonds National d'Art Contemporain
was created during the Third Republic, when the
Bureau des Travaux d'Art was created to oversee the
French government's patronage of the fine arts. During
the nineteenth century, this department of the
Ministère de l'Instruction Publique et des Beaux-Arts
managed the annual budget allotted by the
government not only for the decoration of public
buildings, the erection of statues and public
monuments, but also for commissions and purchases
of all types of works of art for museums and public
offices. As an adjunct to these duties, the Bureau des
Travaux d'Art also served as a registrar for the
national collection of art.
Although most of the Bureau's archives and records
are found in Série F-21 at the Archives Nationales, the
FNAC holds a card catalogue and registers concerning
all government purchases and commissions of works
of art from 1860 through World War I, in which figure
a number of American names. The alphabetically
arranged card catalogue contains the names of artists
and a few details about the government purchases,
while the registers provide the same information in
chronological order. These listings can be important
because they include purchases otherwise not
chronicled in the Archives Nationales. For example,
there is no trace in the Archives Nationales of the
French government's purchase of Mary Cassatt's
drypoint etchings and aquatint in 1890, but note of
this purchase is found in the registers held by the
FNAC.
The FNAC continues to oversee the government's
patronage of the arts in much the same way as did the
Bureau des Travaux d'Art in the nineteenth century,
and it maintains an up-to-date record of the French
national collection, available through the databases
"Vidéomuséum" and 'La Joconde' (see Internet and
Databases).

Access: The library and archives of the Institut
Mémoires de l'Edition Contemporaine (IMEC) are
open Monday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00
p.m. throughout the year. A reader's card is obtained
by presenting a passport, a justification for consulting
the IMEC archives, and by paying an annual fee.
Scholars wishing to consult specific archives held at
IMEC are advised to address a letter to the director,
prior to a visit, stating their research topic. The staff
at IMEC will then prepare the relevant archives, and
where necessary obtain the legal permission(s)
allowing the scholar to consult them. IMEC regularly
publishes a newsletter about its activities and new
holdings. An inventory of its collections will be
available on the Internet in the near future.
Description: The Frits Lugt collection of manuscripts
is devoted to letters written by artists, art critics, art
historians, and connoisseurs. The collection is
catalogued by the nationality of the manuscript's
author and the century during which the manuscript
was written. The collection includes a limited number
of documents concerning American artists which, with
a few exceptions, are inventoried as part of the
Collection anglaise.' References to American artists,
dealers, and collectors also appear scattered through
out the letters of English and French artists and crit
ics, including William Bouguereau, Jean-Léon
Gérôme, Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, Auguste
Rodin, John Ruskin, and Théodore Duret, among
others.
The following list indicates manuscripts by Ameri
can artists found in the Collection Frits Lugt. Anno
tations have been made only when that material
appeared to be of particular interest. The Collection
Frits Lugt continues actively to acquire manuscripts;
hence this list should not be regarded as definitive.
Description: IMEC houses archives related to the
activities of French publishing houses in the twenti
eth century. Its collection encompasses all aspects of
publishing, from the archives of writers and artists to
those of booksellers and the major French publishing
houses. For instance, IMEC holds the archives of the
publishing
houses

Samuel Beckett (1946-1990), Jean Hélion (1928
1987), Jean Paulhan (1900-1968), and Philippe

Description: The archives of the Ministère des Affaires
Etrangères, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are one of
the largest and oldest repositories of archival material
in France. Scattered throughout the collections are
numerous materials concerning American history and
French-American cultural exchanges. The Paris
archives
hold
documents
pertinent
to
the
administration of the Ministry, and to political,
economic, and commercial foreign policy, while
documents relevant to French embassies and
consulates, and to cultural affairs and exchanges, are
found in Nantes. An important number of archival
documents pertaining to French consular activities in
the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries are currently located in Washington, D.C.
These archives will be transferred to Nantes and made
available to the public within the next five years.
(Inventories and guides to the Nantes collection are
found in the reading room in Paris.) Maintained
separately in Paris are a library that is closed to the
general public, a department of treaties and geography,
and a museum with a collection of prints, drawings,
and objects, all requiring special conservation, given to
the French State.
The archives house close to fifty major collections or
séries of documents. When this guide was in prepa
ration, detailed inventories to all collections were not
available, and as a result a comprehensive survey of
material related to American art history was not pos
sible. The following survey, based on a sampling of the
collections and listed by location, attempts to orient a
scholar towards collections likely to have material
relevant to the study of American art or the activities of
American artists.
Several publications are useful in understanding the
general organization and content of these archives:
Waldo Gifford Leland's Guide to Materials for American
History in the Libraries and Archives of Paris (Vol. II):
Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Washington,
D.C.: Carnegie Institute, 1943); L'Etat Général des
inventaires des Archives Diplomatiques (Paris: Imprimerie

Extérieures depuis les origines: Histoire et guide, suivi d'une
étude des sources de l'histoire des affaires étrangéres dans les
dépôts parisiens et départementaux (Paris: Imprimerie
Nationale, 1985); and Paul Pit-man's A Short Guide to the
Archives of the Quai d'Orsay (Paris: Association des Amis
des Archives Diplomatiques, 1993).

scholars. The archives are open on Thursday
mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and the

documentation center are closed during two-week
periods in the spring and fall, the dates varying each

Due to restricted access to many of the archival
documents held by the Musée National Picasso,
scholars must seek various permissions before those
documents can be consulted. Scholars should write
the director of the museum and the curator of
archives prior to a visit, requesting an appointment
and stating their research topic. Information,
addresses and forms concerning specific archives are
then provided, assuring scholars access to the docu
ments at the time of their visit.

Description: The library of the Musée d'Orsay houses
books, periodicals, and catalogues corresponding to
the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century works of
art by artists (born between 1820 and 1870) held in
the Musée d'Orsay. Most archives relating to the
Musée d'Orsay 's collection, including its American
holdings, are found at the Archives des Musées
Nationaux, the Bibliothèque Centrale des Musées
Nationaux, or the Archives Nationales, where they are
located in the archives of the Orsay museum's
predecessors: the Musée du Luxembourg, the Musée
du Jeu du Paume, and the Musée d'Art Moderne.
The Musée d'Orsay houses some archival collections
and artists' papers, available on request. While there
are plans to catalogue this material and to publish a
guide, at present there is no way of knowing precisely
what these collections contain. Documents pertinent to
American art apparently include photographs in "les
Fonds de la Galerie Rosenberg," a group of letters
signed by Alfred Stieglitz in "les Fonds Paul Burty
Haviland," and a group of letters signed by Loie Fuller.
The documentation center at the Musée d'Orsay
houses a large collection of secondary source material
devoted to nineteenth-century art, a database
inventory of the museum's collection, the corre
sponding dossiers d'oeuvre (curatorial files), and some
archives. The secondary source material on nine
teenth- and early twentieth-century painting, scutp
ture, architecture, decorative arts, and photography is
organized in files, classified by artist, and includes
numerous American names and references.
The database inventory and the curatorial files of the
museum's collection, both available upon request,
provide essential information about the works of art
owned by the Musée d'Orsay, including those
presently housed at the museum, as well as works on
extended loan to other museums or in storage
elsewhere. Each curatorial file contains information
about the work's provenance, exhibition history, etc.,
as well as cross-references to archival documents held
at the Archives des Musées Nationaux and the
Archives Nationales. Occasionally these files contain
archival documents. For example, the curatorial file for
the painting Over the River by George Inness includes a
letter about the painting signed by Elizabeth (Mrs.
George) Inness to the Macbeth Galleries.

contemporary French critics working in France and
elsewhere in the world, and include not only their
publications, but also relevant author's notes and
bibliographies. Of particular interest are the archives
of the critics Pierre Rostany and Michèle Cône, who

American art, as well as the archives of the Biennale
de Paris (1959–1982). The library's holdings include
anthologies of contemporary criticism, colloquia
proceedings, and publications about the history of
criticism, methodology, and aesthetics. A regularly

collections thematically. The Archives de la Critique
d'Art are rapidly growing, and a list of its new hold
ings is published regularly.
Description: In 1993 the Archives Départementales du
Nord in Laon became the repository of a collection of
archives previously held at the Musée National de la
Coopération Franco-Américaine de Blérancourt. These
archives include a variety of documents about
Americans and their activities in France during World
War I, as well as American aid later in the recon
struction of the Aisne. A su rvey of this material

Description: The Musée National de la Coopération
Franco-Américaine at the Château de Blérancourt
houses a portion of the French government's collec

art collection are found not at the museum but rather
at the Archives des Musées Nationaux, the Biblio
thèque Centrale des Musées Nationaux or the
Archives Nationales. The Blérancourt library holds a
collection of rare books dating from the eighteenth
century, as well as journals and exhibition catalogues
related to Franco-American topics.
The museum's documentation center has data
bases of its art collection and of Americans named to
the Légion d'Honneur; and documents about the
founding of the museum, the American Field Service,
American civilian activities in France during World
Wars I and H, and American artists in France. The
material about American artists is scattered in more
than 140 file boxes organized either alphabetically by
artist, or by more general themes such as "Personnal
ités," "Américains en France," or "Expositions." The
documents in these files include press clippings, pho
tographs, and exhibition catalogues which have
served in the preparation of the museum's exhibi
tions, catalogues, and publications. Unfortunately,
these files have not been systematically inventoried.
The documentation center also houses an impor
tant collection of films and vintage photographs
(many by Harry Lachman) taken in France during
and after World War 1. These photographs comple
ment material located at the Archives Départemen

of original photographs of artists who resided in
Brittany in the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries.

INTERNET A N D DATABASES
France's major museums, libraries, and other cultural
institutions have lost no time in going online. A few of
the institutions cited in this guide already maintain
Web sites, while sites are planned or in development
at many others. The inherent complexity and nonlin
ear presentation of Web sites and other electric
sources of information, in conjunction with the
rapidity with which they are generated, updated, and
expanded, makes it impossible to provide a compre
hensive description of them in this guide, or indeed
any print source. It is possible here, however, to offer
some general guidelines and to indicate possible com
puter access to a number of databases relevant to art
history, including some mentioned elsewhere in this
guide.
An excellent point of departure is the Web site
maintained by the Ministère de la Culture
(hap:llwww.culture.fr). The site "Documentation" on
the main menu provides access to the following
French databases, through the subsite "Bases de
données accessibles sur Internet":
"La Joconde": an inventory of over sixty national,
regional, and private museums in France.
• "Mérimée": information about a variety of buildings
and works of art registered as historic monuments.
• "BN-Opale": the computer catalogue of the books
and periodicals held in the collections of the
Bibliothéque Nationale de France.
• "BN-Opaline": the computer catalogue of engrav
ings, posters, post cards, and photographs held by the
Département des Estampes et des Photographies at
the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
Publique d'Information.
• "Répertoire: Thèses: Culture, Droit et Institutions
(CNRS/Université Paris Dauphine)": an inventory of
theses and dissertations in progress or completed at
French universities.
Additionally, the menu site "Documentation" links to
a second subsite, "Répertoires," which is further
subdivided. Among the most pertinent sites on the
subsite "Répertoires," are "Centres de ressources doc
umentaires," which provides information about spe
cialized documentation centers, and "Bases de don
nées et banques d'images: Art et architecture," which
provides information about or access to the following
databases:
• ‘Arcadé: a database, compiled from material at the
Archives Nationales, about works of art acquired or
commissioned by the French government between
1800 and 1939.
• "Documentation du MNAM-CCI": an inventory of the
collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne—
Centre de Création Industrielle.
• "IDMO (Images et Documents du Musée d'Orsay)":
an inventory of the collections of the Musée d'Orsay.
• "Noir et Blanc": a catalogue of reproductions from
the collections of the Archives Photographiques,
Ministère de la Culture.
• "Saga": a database about the collections of the Cen
tre Georges Pompidou—Musée National d'Art Moderne.
• "Vidéomuseum": a database about twentieth-century
art held in French public museums.
Presumably, scholars accustomed to working on the
Internet will prefer to use it as a research tool rather
than relying on its precursor, the Minitel, which has
been an integral part of French culture for decades and
which offers an alternative means of access to a few of
the databases now available on the Internet. The
subsite
"Répertoires"
(under
menu
site
"Documentation") links to a subsite, "Services
télématiques," which, among others, lists the following
Minitel numbers: 3615 CULTURE, 3615 BPI, 3616
CARAN, and 3614 JOCONDE. However, there is no
reason to believe that the information obtained
through these Minitel numbers differs significantly
from material contained elsewhere in the Ministère de
la Culture's Web site.

mation":

Access: The Centre d'Histoire Nord-Américaine is
located in the Galerie J. B. Dumas at the I, rue Victor
Cousin entrance of the Sorbonne. The library is open
to the public Monday through Friday at different
hours. It is closed during the school holidays. Schol
ars are advised to call in advance of a visit.
Description: The CHNA was founded in 1967 with
contributions in kind from the American Library and
the Cultural Services of the United States Embassy in
Paris. While the library's emphasis is on social and
political issues in U.S. history, it serves as a clearing
house for French graduate students writing their
theses and dissertations on a variety of subjects
related to U.S. history or transatlantic cultural
exchanges.

Note: In most cases we have not been
able to check the French archivists'
transcriptions of American names, which
therefore remain, in text and index, as
they occur i n the records. Where we
have been able to identify and check a
surname, the index entry will be found
under the correct spelling, though of
course the text contains both the original
transcription and the corrected name in
brackets. Anomalies i n first names have
not been corrected i n the majority of
cases, to avoid littering
