The collection is subject to all copyright laws. Transmission or reproduction of materials protected by copyright, beyond that allowed by fair use, requires the researcher to obtain permission of copyright holders.
The collection is minimally processed. Requests to perform research must be submitted to the VMFA Archives at least three business days in advance.
As custodians of public records, VMFA only restricts access to public records when sensitive information is present. Such restrictions are applied in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (Code of Virginia, § 2.2-3700 thru § 2.2-3714) and the Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act (Code of Virginia, § 2.2-3800 thru § 2.2-3809).
The collection was transferred from the Director's Office through periodic deposits since 1989. The bulk of the Early Director's Correspondence (Series 1.1) was deposited at to the Library of Virginia in 1982, where it remained until November 2022 when it was returned to VMFA.
Director's Correspondence (RG-01). VMFA Archives, Richmond, Virginia.
In general, during processing, all publications are removed and added to the VMFA Library's holdings and original newspaper clippings are photocopied, with identifiers transferred, and then destroyed. Original folder titles are retained, when provided.
Series 1.1 was processed by State Records Archivist Laura Drake Davis from 2006-2008 while it was still deposited at the Library of Virginia. In 2023, Senior Archivist Courtney Tkacz integrated VMFA's holdings into that series and in the process, RG-01 Boxes 1-4 and LVA 33863 Boxes 60, 67, 74, and 89 were removed.
The collection is organized into six series, and items are generally arranged alphabetically within series 1-2. Series 3-6 are generally arranged chronologically.
This series is comprised of correspondence of all of the various Directors of the museum. Files were arranged alphabetically by subject, and there is a lot of overlap between different Director's as the files often contained pertinent items from a predecessor. In the case of the first sub-series (1.1), until 1976, the entire museum's files were maintained centrally as one unit in the Director's Office.
This series includes the records of the first three Directors - Thomas C. Colt (1935-1948), Leslie Cheek, Jr. (1948-1968), and James M. Brown (1969-1976) - as well as the two Interim Co-Directors Beatrice von Keller and Violet McDougall Pollard (1942-1945). The bulk of this series was deposited at the Library of Virginia, therefore most of the items held at VMFA are copies that LVA returned to the museum.
