Personal papers, Series I. 1949-2019, undated

Physical Description: 27.26 Linear Feet(66 boxes and 1 flatfile)

Scope and Contents

Series I. Personal papers includes Smith's diaries and logbook drafts from the 1950s to 2019, her personal correspondence from the 1950s to 2011 and miscellaneous documents related to personal matters.

Arrangement

This series is arranged in three subseries: Series I.A. Diaries, 1950s, 1964-2009, undated; Series I.B. Correspondence, 1957-2011, undated; Series I.C. Miscellaneous, 1949-2011, undated.
 

Diaries, Series I.A. 1950s, 1964-2019, undated

Physical Description: 17.51 Linear Feet(42 boxes)

Scope and Contents

This subseries comprises approximately 160 diaries kept by Barbara T. Smith between the 1950s and 2009. This is the most intimate part of the archive, providing day-to-day information about the artist's family, her relationships, and her daily life, as well as the development of her projects. A large part of them include poems, drawings, photographs, collages and correspondence, thus the diaries might be seen as an integral part of Smith's artistic research, which consistently blurs the line between private and public, between her own body, her own life trajectory and of others'.Some of the diaries were numbered serially by the artist, whereas some other were not part of this numbering system. All the diaries have been re-ordered chronologically, and the number assigned by Smith has been noted on the folder.Some diaries bear a title, in most of the cases related to a specific trip, project or research interest. In the case of undated diaries, the date has been identified by sticky notes and stickers which were originally applied on the diary. Some of these look very recent, and were probably attached by the gallery staff or by Smith herself when revising the archive for its appraisal and sale.
In the case of binders, the original containers have been removed unless they feature original notes, stickers, or other manipulations by the artist or others.
The artist has been working for decades on an autobiographical publication based on the material in the diaries, which had been tentatively titled, Logbook. Several drafts of this publication are present in this series. The book was published by the Getty Research Institute in 2023, with the title The Way To Be: A Memoir.

Xerox artworks, poetry and related material, Series II.E. 1966-1974, undated

Physical Description: 2.5 Linear Feet(6 boxes)

Scope and Contents

This subseries includes a few Xerox artworks together with materials used for the realization of the pieces, supplies, extra copies, and notes on technicalities and on unrealized Xerox books and sculptures. The largest part of the subseries is composed of copies of Smith's poems, which were executed with a technique similar to the one she was experimenting with for the Coffin book series: the poem is part of a collage of photocopied elements such as photos, objects and body parts, together with drawings. The poems, all undated but supposedly produced in the same period the artist was working on the Coffin series, were then arranged in sets.

Project files, Series III. 1960s-2012, undated

Physical Description: 33.08 Linear Feet(63 boxes and 5 flatfiles)

Scope and Contents

Series III. Projects includes hundreds of documents related to every project Smith produced, organized or participated in, such as the production of artworks; exhibitions she curated or participated in; graphic design projects; lectures; symposia she organized or participated in; travels; grant and funding, and residencies.Documents as varied as photos, sketches, notes, drawings, receipts, and correspondence are to be found.The project files originally organized by Smith have been interfiled together with what was called "support materials," another series documenting various projects, whose documents were of an analogous kind to the ones found in the project files. Documents originally pertaining to the support material section have been marked as "support material" in each folder.
Exhibition announcements such as postcards, leaflets, posters, press releases and small publications were also found separate, and have been interfiled within the series and marked as "announcement" in each folder. The same process has been applied to what was called the "ephemera" section, whose materials were of the same nature as the announcement section.
Large rolled items such as drawings, charts, diagrams and storyboards related to the organization of workshops or complex performative events were also housed separately, and have been interfiled within this series.

Projects, Series VI.B. 1967-2011, undated

Physical Description: 48.57 Linear Feet(70 boxes)

Scope and Contents

This subseries contains documentation of every performance conducted by Smith, from her first one in 1968 up to 2012, together with some video art pieces. A particularly large section of the subseries is dedicated to the documentation of The 21st Century Odyssey, a two year project (1991-1993) in which Smith travelled to several places in Asia, Australia and Europe, engaging with local artists in the production of performances.
At the end of the subseries, audio visual recordings related to classes, workshops, panels, lectures and discussions with Smith can be found, together with interviews of the artist or conducted by her. A large part of this section consists of audio recordings of dialogues between Smith and Deena Metzger regarding the artist's early career and the yet unrealized Logbook project. A collection of compilations of excerpts from the documentation of different performances has been moved to the end of the subseries.
Included in the subseries are approximately 575 videotapes, 259 audio cassettes, 86 audio reels, 48 film reels, and numerous audio and video discs. All the material in this subseries is unavailable until reformatted.
