17. Edith R. Wyle Research Library

Scope and Contents note

These files originated with Joan Benedetti, CAFAM Museum Librarian from 1976 – 1997. The CAFAM Research Library, renamed the Edith R. Wyle Research Library in 1995 to honor the museum's founder, was developed to support CAFAM's broad programmatic interests in contemporary craft, product design, and folk art. Open to the public by appointment, as a museum library it was intended primarily for the research use of CAFAM personnel, especially curators, educators, and docents. The Egg and The Eye Association had started a library for the benefit of the members; those books, along with books donated by Edith Wyle, and slides from The Egg and The Eye Gallery, formed the basis in 1975-76 of the CAFAM library at the time of the transition of the gallery to a museum. Benedetti began to develop the collection and its mission starting in October 1976. A recent UCLA library school graduate, Karen Cahoon, had already cataloged about half of what was initially about 300 books during the previous year. A retired social worker, Judith Clark, who started as a library volunteer in 1975, continued to volunteer in the library until the museum closed temporarily at the end of 1997. (Many other volunteers worked in the library over the years.) Benedetti, with the support of Edith Wyle, Patrick Ela, and a board member, Ruth Bowman, began to write grant proposals. Grants were obtained in 1977 from the Dayton Hudson and Louis B. Meyer Foundations for Benedetti to write a feasibility study concerning the potential for a special library at CAFAM devoted to folk art and contemporary craft. Another volunteer, Suzy Ticho, with the support of an NEA grant, researched the idea of a contemporary craftsperson's slide registry and obtained a donation of over 3,000 slide duplicates from Betty Sheinbaum, who had run the Fairtree Fine Crafts Gallery in Santa Barbara. In 1979 a grant from the James Irvine Foundation of $25,000 funded a part-time librarian position and allowed the purchase of audiovisual equipment and the start of some periodical subscriptions. A paid assistant was funded from CETA funds. Over $340,000 in grants were obtained between 1977 and 1994, principally from the James Irvine Foundation; other grants came from the L.J. and Mary C. Skaggs Foundation, the Neutrogena Company, the Ethnic Arts Council, and Betty Schienbaum. Benedetti was hired on a full-time basis starting in 1987. An adjunct program, the Center for the Study of Art and Culture (CSAC), intended to be a fellowship program and "think tank," was begun in 1989 with a grant from the Irvine Foundation (see separate CSAC Record Group). When it became clear in 1997 that CAFAM would not be able to maintain the Research Library, which had grown to almost 7,000 volumes, including subscriptions and back issues of over 120 periodicals, thousands of slides and biographical materials on more than 1,000 contemporary craft artists, and over 30 vertical file drawers of clipping and pamphlet materials, a staff/board committee was formed to locate a new home for it. A Request for Proposal was sent to eight Los Angeles art libraries and seven proposals were received. The RFP included a description of the institutional records (the staff files) dating back to 1965 that had been discovered in various storage areas, and that collection was also folded into the request. In the fall of 1997, the library collection was donated to the L.A. County Museum of Art Research Library and the institutional files were given to UCLA Arts Special Collections.

17.02 Artists Slide Registry Administrative Files 1977 - 1997

Scope and Contents note

Administrative records of the CAFAM Artists Slide Registry (aka the Contemporary Craftspersons Slide Registry), a collection in CAFAM's Edith R. Wyle Research Library. These files are arranged alphabetically by topic. The slides themselves, the artist biographical files, and a Rolodex contact file were given to the L.A. County Museum of Art (LACMA) Research Library, along with the other CAFAM Edith R. Wyle Research Library collections in 1997. In 2008 the slide registry slides and their Rolodex contact cards were interfiled with the CAFAM artist files, which remained with the CAFAM Library Collection at LACMA, while the present slide registry administrative files were transferred to the CAFAM archives at UCLA. For access to the slide registry slides and artist files, contact the LACMA Research Library . The CAFAM Slide Registry was developed initially (in 1977) by CAFAM Volunteer Coordinator, Suzy Ticho, with the intent of making it a marketing service of the CAFAM Research Library for contemporary craft artists. Ticho facilitated a major gift from Betty Scheinbaum of over 3,000 duplicates of slides from the Fairtree Fine Crafts Institute, which, together with contemporary craft slides from The Egg and The Eye Gallery, formed the initial basis of the Registry. The Slide Registry functioned as a marketing tool for artists, slides of whose work were housed in plastic slide sheets (divided by media and type of object) in looseleaf binders viewable on a large light table. Appointments were made for gallery owners and others to view the slides, the artists biographical files, and the Rolodex contact cards.

17.04 Space Planning 1986 - 1990

Scope and Contents note

These files were created by Museum Librarian Joan Benedetti during the period of planning for the "New Museum." In addition to space planning for the research library, she was active in planning for the new museum as a whole, in her work on the board/staff Space Planning Committee. These files are in two parts, each arranged in alphabetical order by topic. Half of the files are concerned with unrealized plans for a new library space in the Ratkovich Development (Box 162, folder 12 - Box 164, folder 1). Half (Box 164, folder 2 - Box 165, folder 7) are from Benedetti's time on the CAFAM Space Planning Committee (1987-1990) and her time (in that capacity) writing a Request for Proposal and directing the search for a space planning consultant (1987-1989) for the new museum. The consultant hired, Marcy Goodwin, working with staff, wrote the preliminary building program. After the Ratkovich development fell through in 1992 due to the general economic downturn, the architectural firm Hodgetts + Fung was hired in 1993 to renovate and redesign the existing buildings. The building program developed by Goodwin with the CAFAM staff for the Ratkovich development was utilized in a general way for the Hodgetts + Fung renovation, but was largely unusable as the space available for the renovation was much smaller. For library space planning files on this later period, see Administrative Files series in the present ERW Research Library Record Group (Box 161, folders 19 - 23). See also separate series, "New Museum Files," in the Administrative and Special Events Record Group for further files relating to both the Ratkovich development and the Hodgetts + Fung renovation. Also note that the "Space Planning Committee," a committee composed of both staff and board (but essentially a board committee, chaired by board member Jim Pieper), was sometimes called the "Planning and Space Committee." Some of the files concerning this latter committee will be found with the Board of Trustees Record Group.

18. Center for the Study of Art and Culture (CSAC)

Scope and Contents note

The Center for the Study of Art and Culture (CSAC) was developed beginning in 1987 by the CAFAM Museum Librarian, Joan Benedetti. An adjunct program of the CAFAM Research Library, it was conceived in response to a staff initiative led by CAFAM's Executive Director, Patrick Ela, to broaden CAFAM's programming to reflect the Board's intention at that time to develop an expanded museum, part of a mixed-use building project (unrealized) planned with the developer, Wayne Ratkovich. Benedetti also served as the CSAC Director. A National Advisory Board was formed over the first few years; meetings of the National Advisory Board were held at CAFAM in 1990 and 1992. At the outset of the development of CSAC, it was called the Center for Advanced Study of Art, Design, and Material Culture (CAS). The name was changed to the Center for the Study of Art and Culture (CSAC) before the second (1992) National Advisory Board meetings. CSAC was intended to be a fellowship program and "think tank" for CAFAM and was "dedicated to the support of cultural diversity in the arts as a positive value." Its mission was "to expand knowledge of the meaning of objects in contemporary society through multicultural and multidisciplinary research, dialogue, and publication." It was funded (1989-2004) primarily by the James Irvine Foundation, with a supplementary grant from the L.J. and Mary Skaggs Foundation to fund the expenses of the biennial meetings of the National Advisory Board. The major accomplishments of CSAC were: to form the National Advisory Board and to hold two meetings of the Board (in 1990 and 1992) as well as a local public forum in conjunction with the first Board meeting in 1990; to increase the research library's collections (intended to support the fellowship program) by 60%; to pay for a subscription to OCLC, the national cooperative bibliographic database used for cataloging and interlibrary loan; and to hire a public programs coordinator, who, in 1993, developed two series of workshops titled "Diversity and Inclusion: Making It Happen in Your Museum." The workshops, which targeted teams of museum workers from southern California, attracted 21 participant teams from 19 L.A. museums. Benedetti had developed the initial concept for a workshop on issues of diversity in museums, but realized she could not personally implement these public programs while continuing to administer both CSAC and the Research Library. An acting CSAC public programs coordinator, Teri Knoll, was hired and then a permanent programs coordinator, Nancy Downes-LeGuin. Downes-LeGuin formed a local Advisory Team from various L.A. museums, specifically to advise concerning development of the workshops for museum workers. Two professional trainers, Carmen Tolivar and Larry Dressler, were hired to assist in developing the workshops and to run them. Downes-LeGuin completed most of the planning for the workshops, but left CAFAM before their implementation. With the help of the local Advisory Team, Benedetti completed the workshop planning and coordinated the running of one workshop in the spring and one in the fall of 1993. Each workshop consisted of three days of activities, run over several weeks, to allow for the planning and implementation of actual "realizable projects" at each of the participant teams' 19 institutions. The fellowships, planned to be relatively short-term (3-6 months), were intended for "community scholars, working arts professionals operating outside of academia, and other researchers who have a particular interest in issues of art and culture relevant to contemporary communities." However, the fellowship program could not be funded due to CAFAM's financial difficulties and temporary closure in 1997, at which time the Research Library collections were given to the L.A. County Museum of Art Research Library and CSAC's activities ceased.

19. Preservation of Ethnic Traditions (P.E.T.) Project

Scope and Contents note

The Preservation of Ethnic Traditions (P.E.T.) Project (originally known as the Community Research Project) was a four-year CAFAM field project (1978 – 1982) to locate and document on audiotape and with 35 mm. color slides, folk artists in the Los Angeles area practicing the traditional arts of their cultural heritage. The project was the idea of CAFAM founder Edith R. Wyle. Each year, a folklorist was hired to coordinate the project. The folklorist- coordinators were Reba Bass (1978-79 and 1979-80), Willow Young (1980-81), and Amy Skillman (1981-82). The Junior League of Los Angeles collaborated during the first two years, providing volunteer fieldworkers and some funding.Training was provided for the fieldworkers by the folklorist-coordinators. 25 individual artists, two artist-couples, and one artist group were documented. The artists documented are as follows: Elva Albert (Cuban Tatting); Nawili Ayo (African American Hair Braiding); Kwasi Badu (Ashanti Drum Making); John Brooks (Hungarian American Apple Doll Making); Larry Cryderman (American Cane and Wicker Furniture Making); Doris Dietiker (Swiss Doll Making); Dusty (American Woodcarving); Guadalupe and Rebecca Gonzalez (Mexican Embroidery); Charitus Hansen (Danish Bobbin Lace Making); Thelma Chizu Hyogo (Japanese Monochrome Ink Painting--Sumi-e); Kinnara Drum Group (Japanese Taiko Dumming and Drum Making); Martha Louise (American Rug Hooking); Lydia Motruk (Ukrainian Ceramics); Dan Nakamura (Japanese Paper Folding--Origami); Tom Nakano (Japanese American Wood and Rock Arrangement); Chitralekha Pal (Indian Bengali Rice Powder Painting--Alpana); Emiliano Pena and Ruben Delgado (Mexican Saddle Making with Silver Decoration); Nivart Piloyan (Armenian Tied Rug Making); Valentina Ryshko [aka Tina Ross] (Russian Puppet Making and Embroidery); Valentina Solo (Ukrainian Doll Making); Hervell Sparks (African American Quilting); Alyce Halliday Stirling (Scottish Tatting); Phyllis Storms (Italian Pulled and Drawn Thread Embroidery); June Take Shuchiku Tanabe (Japanese Tea Ceremony--Sencha); Zenovia Wrzensniewski (Ukrainian Easter Egg Decorating--Pysanka); Pa Yang (H'Mong Applique and Embroidery--Pa Dao); Fahmineh Zand (Persian Illumination); Ksenia Zozula (Ukrainian Embroidery). See Series 19.04, Boxes 185 - 187. At the end of each project year, a one-or two- day public exhibition, called "Work in Progress," was held in the museum's downstairs gallery. The artists documented during the project year displayed their work, demonstrated their craft, and engaged in informal discussion with members of the public. (See Series 19.03, Box 188.) In 1982, a videotape documentary was produced—in addition to the audiotape and slide documentation. (See Series 19.02, Boxes 189 - 191.) All of the documentation collected, formerly part of the Edith R. Wyle Research Library, is now with the CAFAM archives at UCLA.

19.01 Administrative Files 1978 - 1982

Scope and Contents note

The administrative files of the PET project are arranged alphabetically by topic and then chronologically within each topic. The PET Project was known as the Community Research Project from its inception until 1982; therefore, many documents refer to the project as such. The project followed an academic year (i.e. September to August) rather than a calendar year schedule during the first 2 years. Project Years: September 20, 1978 - April 22, 1979, Reba Bass, coordinator; September 12, 1979 - June 8, 1980, Reba Bass, coordinator; April ?, 1981 - July 19, 1981, Willow Young and Amy Skillman, co-coordinators; April 6, 1982 - August 1, 1982, Amy Skillman, coordinator. At the end of each project year, a one- or two-day Work in Progress public event was staged in the first-floor gallery at CAFAM, during which the artists displayed their work and demonstrated their craft. (See Series 19.03, Work in Progress.) See Junior League files in Education Department Record Group (Box 435, folder 8) and see also Series 2.14 (CAFAM Admin. -- Misc. Files), Box 415, folder 14.

19.04 Artist Notebooks 1979 - 1982

Scope and Contents note

28 Artist Notebooks, consisting of the Preservation of Ethnic Traditions (PET) Project documentation, are filed here in alphabetical order by artists' surnames. They contain materials on 25 individual artists, two artist-couples, and one artist group. The Artist Notebook is the primary receptacle for the documentation gathered on each artist. Ideally, each notebook was to hold (1) the interviewer's report containing biographical information on the artist and background information on the craft and ethnic tradition of the artist, notes on the interview itself, and recommendations for further exploration; (2) the interview on audiotape cassette and a transcript of the interview; (3) a bibliography and photocopies of related materials about the artist and/or the artist's craft; and (4) slides and photographs of the artist at work. While some of the notebooks contain all these elements, one artist notebook contains, for example, only the information from the Work in Progress exhibition brochure. Most notebook contents fall somewhere in between. Each artist, artist-couple, or artist group has an individual notebook, except for silversmith, Ruben Delgado, whose documentation is included with that of saddlemaker, Emiliano Pena. (Delgado did the silverwork applied to Pena's saddles.) Three artists--Tom Nakano, Hervell Sparks, and Alyce Halliday Stirling—originally had no notebooks. When photographs of Sparks and an audiocassette for Stirling were discovered in February/March 2005, notebooks were created for these three artists to hold the found material with additional original or photocopied information. Notebook titles and dates are based on title pages.

20. Edith R. Wyle CAFAM Home Files

Scope and Contents note

These correspondence and note files were kept by Edith R. Wyle at her home and were given to UCLA for the CAFAM archives by her family after Wyle's death in 1999. Although the correspondence here is somewhat more personal than the files that she kept at her office in the museum when she was CAFAM's Program Director, it is all relevant to CAFAM business. See also CAFAM Administrative and Special Events Record Group -- Edith R. Wyle Correspondence (1970 – 1984). These home files contain documents related to the whole history of CAFAM and The Egg and The Eye Gallery. Although Wyle was active on the CAFAM board after her retirement in 1984, she no longer kept an office at CAFAM, so these home files became the primary repository for her post-retirement CAFAM-related papers. See also CAFAM Administrative and Special Events Record Group -- Administrative Files A-Z – People Associated with CAFAM: Wyle, Edith R. See also various Wyle files in Board of Trustees Record Group.

Scope and Contents note

Arranged roughly alphabetically by topic and then chronologically within each topic. Although there is a good deal of duplication here with files in other record groups (see especially Series 2.02, Edith R. Wyle [ERW] Correspondence, Box 25, folder 15 - Box 27, folder 12), these home files contain some items not available anywhere else in the CAFAM archives.
