Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The James Taylor Harwood papers (1892-2001) consist of original and photocopied materials pertaining to Harwood (1860-1940), his artistic profession, and his personal life. Included in the collection are works of art, correspondence, biographical information, poetry, exhibition catalogs, diaries, notebooks, news articles, and other materials. The collection has been organized with the original donated materials placed first, then subsequent donations placed after, in chronological order according to donation date.
The first group of donated materials (boxes 1-3) consists of photocopied correspondence between Harwood and Ione Godwin, his second wife; typescripts and a photocopy of Harwood's autobiography, A Basket of Chips; an autobiography of his father, James Harwood; art-related materials; and poetry, news articles, and miscellaneous items.
The second donation (box 4) only has one item. It is a scrapbook put together for Lark Harwood by her mother, Ione. It is a combination journal and photo album describing the life of Lark and her parents, Ione and James Taylor Harwood. Ione writes of sights, her feelings, the family's activities, of their homes, and of the extended family. Where possible, photographs were removed and transferred to the Multimedia Section of Special Collections.
The third and fourth donations (boxes 5-6) consist mostly of correspondence. The first box holds correspondence entirely between Ione and James Taylor Harwood, much of it while they were first dating. The rest of the correspondence is between various individuals and is arranged alphabetically by the person associated with it. Some poetry, a diary, and other materials are also included in these boxes.
The fifth donation (boxes 7-12) includes a variety of items, including original works of art and sketches by Harwood. The artwork, located in boxes 10-11, is representative of most of Harwood's artistic career. Other materials found with this donation are diaries, notebooks, correspondence, exhibition catalogs, artwork and poetry by Ruth Harwood, and a descriptive commentary by James V. Harwood of this donation's contents, among other things.
The sixth donation (boxes 13-21) is almost entirely made up of correspondence. Some poetry, news clippings, and other items are also included in some of the folders. Original groupings for this last donation were kept as much as possible. It is organized alphabetically, generally by the correspondent's last name. Some correspondence may fit with other groupings, though.
The last donations (box 22) includes correspondence to a Mr. D. Brown, a scrapbook which consists mainly of news clippings, and a sketchbook of human anatomy.
