About the Collections
This primary source material from over 80 years of institutional history includes correspondence, reports, research materials, photographs, financial records, scrapbooks, audio-visual recordings, press clippings, manuscripts and ephemera. The core of the collection includes institutional records of The Mint Museum, but also includes personal papers created by staff, donors, artists, or historians who have had a relationship with the Museum.
Finding Aids to the Collections
The Mint Museum Archives offers finding aids to help researchers in the selection of archival holdings. Finding aids provide descriptions of collections or records, followed by folder-level inventories of the materials that comprise them. These tools also offer information on both the content of the holdings and the context in which they were created. They include summary information about the creating organization or individual as well as dates, format, arrangement, regulations on use, and subjects of the materials.
