1970s03, A4, red spiralbound, circa 1970

This collection contains the personal, artistic, entrepreneurial, and teaching records of the sculptor Albert Paley, in addition to records of the artist Frances Welles Paley. Materials include business and project records, correspondence, photographs and negatives, sketchbooks, realia, process work, travel and lecture notes, exhibition plans, studio administration documentation, videos, awards, publications, information on professional associations and the work and exhibitions of colleagues, and civic project records. Most material is physical and paper-based, but some collection materials are born-digital as part of the Paley Studios database and server.

The collection is arranged into five series, with multiple subseries within. An overview can be found in the System of Arrangement note, and details for series-specific arrangement can be found in notes for each series.
