Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Tamarind collection is divided into two series: Administrative Files, and Research and Publications. These series are further divided into subseries. For the most part, the collection retains the basic organization created and used by Tamarind. We have done little re-filing, thus materials that were not filed correctly when the collection was given to us largely remain "mis-filed" or in miscellaneous subseries. Original Tamarind file numbers appear in parentheses, following folder descriptions. There is some overlap between the two series.
Series I, Administrative Files, includes papers and correspondence relative to the establishment of the TLW in Los Angeles, continuing throughout the decade that the Workshop was located in Los Angeles (1960-70). It includes correspondence with members of its Board of Directors and its Panel of Selection; correspondence with artists who were nominated for fellowships, applications from and correspondence with prospective printer- and curator-fellows; tape recordings (5," 7" 9" reels and cds) of interviews and lectures; and other materials relative to the operation of the Workshop in L.A. The series also contains correspondence and files pertinent to the subsequent establishment of the Tamarind Institute at the University of New Mexico in 1970, and the business of the Institute into the 1980's. This includes correspondence with artists, printers, and curators who worked at TI.
Series II, Research and Publications, contains research and publications generated both at the TLW and TI, including research notes, manuscript material, publications, and correspondence related to projects undertaken at Tamarind. Notably, this series includes the Tamarind Book of Lithography and two films produced at Tamarind, The Look of a Lithographer and Four Stones for Kanemitsu, although some administrative materials related to these projects will also be found in Series I.
The researcher should be aware that in certain subseries, such as General Files, Artists Biographies, Artists Editions, and Documentation Worksheets, individuals may be grouped together in an alphabetical range, and therefore their individual names will not appear. Files specific to individuals use a last name, first name format; other appearances of names often use a first name or first initial, last name format. In some instances, only last names appear in the inventory.
Photographs, including photographs of lithographs, artists, printers, and visitors to the Workshop and the Institute have been transferred to the CSWR photoarchives.
Duplicate, preservation copies of most audio tapes will be found in boxes labelled A, B, C, shelved with the rest of the collection.
An addition to this collection was processed in March 2003. The additional materials consist primarily of administrative correspondence and files, a scrapbook from Tamarind's 40th anniversary, artists files, and audio taped interviews conducted by Elizabeth Jones-Popescu. These additional materials overlap with the original accession.
A second addition was processed in June 2005. This consists largely of artist and other administrative files. A small quantity of research/publications is also included.
