Series II: Photographs and Slides

Language of Materials

English

Extent

2.5 Linear Feet In 2 record cartons and one manuscript box.

Scope and contents

This series contains slides and photographs. Some slides were labeled by the donor, and where it was possible, the original label was retained and put in quotation marks. The majority of slides are of Edith Kramer's adolescent patients' artwork, sometimes organized by patient, by institution, or by psychotherapy principle. A good portion of the slides are also of Edith Kramer's own work, ranging from late 1930s paintings to works completed as recently as 2001. The photographs mainly comprise pictures of Edith Kramer, pictures and prints of her artwork, and photographs of her young patients' artwork. Also included are examples of artworks created by other art therapists or their patients that were given to Kramer.

Arrangement

The photographs and slides are organized roughly by format. Slides are arranged in sleeves as they were received from the donor; when slides were rehoused, this arrangement was preserved.

Processing Information

The titles of some files in this series have been redacted to remove personal health information. Existing patient names left in titles are psuedonyms created by Kramer.
