Processing Information

The bulk of the collection, except for the correspondence series, was received unarranged. Processing involved the survey and broad arrangement of the materials and the creation of this finding aid; container lists were created for some series depending on the complexity of the material and the available staff resources. Box 63 contains miscellaneous material that was found after the rest of the series had already been organized. In 2022, Maggie Hughes added additional formerly separated materials to box 63. In 2023, Gayle M. Richardson added formerly separated materials into boxes 66-68. In September 2023, Mari Khasmanyan added formerly separated binders of reference materials into boxes 69-70.
Items of particular note were separated from the collection:. Two letters, one from May Morris (Call Number: mssHM 80229) and one from William Morris (Call Number: mssHM 80230), were transferred to the Manuscript Department in June 2013, and 12 typescript and manuscript lists of images used in Morris & Co. stained glass projects, with corresponding portfolio numbers, were moved to the William Morris Papers in October 2016.

Biographical Note of Sanford Berger

Sanford Lionel Berger (1919-2000), an architect and William Morris enthusiast, was born in San Francisco, California in 1919. His father, Samuel Berger, was an architectural woodcarver employed by the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and his work can be seen in many Bay Area churches and cathedrals among other sites. During World War II, Sanford Berger served as a civilian naval architect while stationed at the Boston Naval Ship Yard. A University of California at Berkeley and Harvard-trained architect, he practiced for 38 years and became a senior vice president for the firm of Stone, Marracini & Patterson in San Francisco, California. As a student, Berger, with his wife Helen, also a Harvard-trained architect, studied under such luminaries as Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
In the 1960s, the Bergers purchased an almost complete set of books printed by William Morris's Kelmscott Press, thus beginning almost four decades of building a collection of books, manuscripts, textiles, wallpapers, carpets, tapestries, drawings, stained glass, ephemera, and ceramics that during their lifetimes was regarded as the largest private collection of William Morris materials in the United States. Their collection was acquired by the Huntington Library in 1999.
The renown of the Sanford and Helen Berger Collection of William Morris grew steadily over the years, and the lure of the welcoming hosts and charming location of "Kelmscott Carmel" or "Kelmscott West" as the Bergers' Scenic Road residence in Carmel, California, was known, proved irresistible for scores of scholars, researchers, and serious Morris aficionados from around the world.
Berger was active in many bibliophilic societies and organizations and served as a president of the Book Club of California. He enjoyed hobby printing, and operated two small, private presses, the Tunnel Road and the Scenic Road presses, both from his homes of the same addresses.
Sanford L. Berger died on July 30, 2000. Helen L. Berger died in 2001.

Biographical Note of William Morris

William Morris (1834-1896), an English artist, decorator, poet, and printer, was born March 24, 1834, in Walthamstow, England, then a suburb of London; he attended Marlborough College and in 1852 entered Exeter College, Oxford. He left in 1855, without taking religious orders, as he originally planned, and instead embarked on a varied career as a poet, visual artist and Socialist. He married Jane Burden on April 26, 1859, and they had two daughters, Jane Alice (Jenny), born in 1861 and Mary (May) in 1862.
William Morris, a man of tremendous energy and creativity, became, over the years, a poet, artist, designer, decorator, manufacturer, printer, Socialist activist, and lecturer. He helped to begin the Arts & Crafts movement in England through Morris & Co., a decorative arts firm, and strove to better the lives of the working class through his work with Socialist causes. It was possibly the strain of overwork as he tried to maintain a busy lecture schedule, as well as oversee the Kelmscott Press and other business interests, that caused Morris to become ill in June, 1896. After a lingering illness he died on October 3, 1896, at his home, Kelmscott House in London.
Morris & Co. operated from 1875 until 1940 and was known for its stained glass, wallpaper, pottery, and textile designs. The firm succeeded Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., which had been founded in 1861, when Morris became the sole owner. John Dearle (1860-1932) assumed leadership of the company when he became its Art Director following Morris's death in 1896. In 1905 the company's name was changed to Morris & Co. Decorators Ltd.

Scope and Contents

The Sanford L. Berger papers consist chiefly of research material relating to the activities of California architect Sanford L. Berger, from the mid 1960s to the late 1990s, as a collector, student, and enthusiast of objects and knowledge related to 19th century English artist, decorator, poet, and printer William Morris and his circle.
This finding aid provides a preliminary inventory of the collection and has been broadly arranged into eleven series. This collection contains a wide assortment of materials of varying research value. Because most items remain in the original order in which the Huntington received them, there is some overlap among series. The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence between Berger and prominent individuals in Morrisian scholarly, academic, special collections libraries, book trade and museum circles in the United States and England (Series 1), as well copies of articles, clippings, ephemera, and research materials related to Morrisian topics (Series 2 and Series 5).
The collection also contains administrative documents and ephemera related to museum exhibitions that included material from the Bergers' collection (Series 3), and specific research and travel files related to the story of Cupid and Psyche as recounted in Morris's The Earthly Paradise (Series 8); ecclesiastical stained glass installations of Morris & Co. visited by the Bergers (Series 9); and the Cranbrook Educational Community in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (Series 7). Miscellaneous ephemera (Series 4) in the collection includes fine press book announcements, exhibition posters, postcards, clippings, photocopies and photographs of Morris designs, correspondence, notes and inventories made by Berger, 238 bifolios from The Golden Legend (Series 4, Box 64), and loose gatherings and separated leaves from miscellaneous imprints (Series 4, Box 65). Complimentary materials in the collection include items related to Berger's interest in contemporary and historical fine press printing, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area (Series 6) and two film reels from the 1970s (Series 10).

Arrangement

The collection is arranged in the following 10 series:
  1. Correspondence (Boxes 1-32)
  2. Periodicals (Boxes 33-40, 66-68)
  3. Exhibition Ephemera (Boxes 41-43a)
  4. Miscellaneous (Boxes 44-50, 63-65)

Series I. Correspondence approximately 1960s-1990s

Physical Description: 32 boxes

Scope and Content

The series contains correspondence between Sanford Berger and many prominent people in Morrisian scholarly, academic, special collections libraries, book trade and museum circles in the United States and England during the period ranging mainly from the mid-1960s to the late 1990s. The correspondence includes incoming letters, as well as photocopies and/or manuscript drafts of outgoing letters. Also included are book sales catalogues, invoices, museum catalogues, newsletters, research notes, photographs, fine press keepsake publications, greeting cards, speech and lecture notes and texts, association and club-related correspondence, clippings, thank you letters, and miscellaneous ephemera.
Much of the material in the correspondence series is described at the item level in an appendix available from the Rare Books Department as an electronic document. However, the appendix was assembled during the early surveying of the entire Berger collection and may list some items that were not originally part of the correspondence files and are now included in other series.

Arrangement

The series is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the correspondent as originally organized by Sanford Berger
