Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection contains Beatrice Mandelman and Louis Ribak’s personal papers and correspondence; art appraisals and inventories, exhibits and galleries, and reviews of their shows and clippings; the Mandelman-Ribak Foundation’s Oral History Project; and several folders of documents contributed by Mary Fuller-McChesney and Phyllis Dorset. The Mandelman-Ribak Foundation’s folder descriptions determined, in large part, the categories used for series and subseries placement. The collection consists of 5 series parsed into several smaller subseries. Mandelman and Ribak’s personal papers and art-related documents overlap in all of these areas; however, the Contents list identifies materials when they are specific to one of the artists.
