Several years ago I used a then-recent book on Carnegie Corporation philanthropy in my dissertation. Unfortunately, my copy is at home, enjoying the obscurity it so richly deserves. As I recall, the book dealt more with the Corporation's library philanthropy, but perhaps the citations might lead in a direction. Try asking a librarian to help you identify it. According to GailFJJMA: > > 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.
