Series 5: Traveling Exhibitions

Scope and content:

This series generally includes checklists, packing instructions, press releases, and schedules, while some files include photos and slides. There have been attempts to create a comprehensive list of traveling exhibitions since 1935, but efforts have been hindered by the repeating or changing of exhibition numbers, and often a lack of records.
