Series II. Catalogs and Inventories, 1966-1993, 2001
Extent
Scope and Contents Note
The series includes documents that illustrate the items offered for sale by the museum store, publicity about those items, and sales records. The series includes the periodic inventories taken of stock through the 1980s into 1991, advertising flyers and order forms, descriptions and photographs of items, and the first five catalogs issued by the store (circa 1985-1991). There is also one catalog from a later period (2001). The period of 1990-1991 is especially well-documented as the store closed temporarily in late 1991 and underwent an analysis of its product line and sales; accordingly, there are detailed inventory and sales records for the 1990-91 period.
Arrangement Note
The series is arranged roughly by document type, ranging from internally-focused materials, such as inventories, to public documents, such as publicity materials and catalogs.
