Records generated or collected by the publicity department, primarily before it was formalized as a department within the museum. Documents the ways in which the museum promoted itself, its exhibitions, and activities, and the way the institution was described in the press. More than half the collection consists of clippings from newspapers and magazines, and approximately one-third of the collection consists of unprocessed department files.
