Karras (Maria) collection of Woman's Building papers and photographs

Series I. Woman's Building papers and photographs, 1972-2018, undated

Physical Description: 8.2 Linear Feet (17 boxes, 2 flatfile folders. Computer media: 40.7 GB, [524 files])

Scope and Content Note

Series I includes ephemera and photographic materials (slides, prints, negatives, and digital reference images) that document events, people, and daily activities at the Woman's Building, as well as artwork produced by individual artists affiliated with the Woman's Building. Maria Karras's personal artwork and projects are included in Series II.

Arrangement

The series is organized into three subseries: Subseries I. Photographic materials, 1973-1989, 1998, 2011-2018; Subseries II. Ephemera, 1973-2017, undated; Subseries III. Artwork by Woman's Building artists and related ephemera, 1972-1987.

Series I.A. Photographic materials, 1973-2018

Physical Description: 5.4 Linear Feet (14 boxes. Computer media: 40.2 GB [521 files])

Scope and Content Note

Series I.A includes prints, slides, negatives, and contact sheets that document the events, people, and daily activities of the Woman's Building from 1973 to 1980. Events significantly represented in this subseries include the renovations and grand openings of both the Grand View Street and Spring Street buildings, the Women in Design and Women's Word's conferences in 1975, Leslie Labowitz and Suzanne Lacy's In Mourning and In Rage performance, as well as weekly meetings, classes, protests, and exhibition preparations and openings. In addition to photographing Feminist Studio Workshop students and faculty, Karras documented the visits of outside artists such as Anaïs Nin, Lucy Lippard, Rita Mae Brown, Grandma Prisbrey, and other groups affiliated with the Woman's Building, such as The Waitresses and Sisterhood Bookstore.

The majority of materials in Series I.A are black-and-white 35mm negatives. Each sheet of negatives is accompanied by a contact sheet that corresponds to a digital file. Nearly all slide sheets also have a corresponding digital file. Most photographic prints are black-and-white, but there are a small number of color prints as well.

Although the photographs themselves were taken between 1973 and 1998, the later dates (2011-2018) refer to the latest dates of modification of the digital files. Software formats were identified using a DROID (Digital Record Object IDentification) report from information recorded in the PRONOM technical registry.

Most file titles, descriptions of events, identifications of individual people, and dates were taken from the inventory provided by Maria Karras or from labels on the slides or negatives. In a few instances, the title was devised by the cataloger when no information was available. More precise information on dates was provided in some cases by the timeline on the Woman's Building website. See Terry Wolverton, "The Woman's Building Timeline," the Woman's Building, accessed November 2019, http://thewomansbuilding.org/timeline.html.

Arrangement

The subseries is arranged chronologically by event date, with born digital materials integrated according to content.
