Arrangement of the Records

Scope and Contents of the Records

This series contains event files and other records from the Research and Academic program. The files include programs, brochures, lists of participants, budgets, and planning correspondence from colloquia, symposia and other conferences organized by the Clark. These are, by and large, the unweeded records of the department prior to the implementation of Records Management at the Clark.

History of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute

In 1950 Sterling and Francine Clark chartered the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as a home for their extensive art collection. Opened to public in 1955, the Institute has built upon this extraordinary group of works to become one of the most beloved and respected art museums in the world, known for its intimate galleries and stunning natural environment. One of the few institutions in the United States that combines a public art museum with a complement of research and academic programs, including a major art history library, the Clark is now a leading international center for research and discussion on the nature of art and art history. Building upon the founders' legacy, the Institute has recently unveiled its master plan for the twenty-first century, which fosters the Clark's commitment to providing space for its expanding research and museum programs while maintaining the unique character of its beautiful rural setting.
