I am searching for information on gifts made to university museums of art
by the Carnegie Corporation in the 1930s. Our museum received 27 works of
art documenting the history of printmaking. Artists include Millet, Corot,
Tiepolo, Goya, and Whistler to name a few.  Our records and local
newspaper clipper document the receipt of this gift but there is very
little on the program that distributed them.

If your collection has gifts from the Carnegie corporation in the 1930s
and you have better documentation, please contact me. I am patricularly
interested in how the works were collected and organized for distribution
to universities.

Thanks for any help in this. I can be contacted at the following:
