Collecting, cataloguing, and publishing have been our major concerns in the recent past. In connection with our publication program, we received a grant-in-aid from the Ford Foundation which assisted us in completing the research and producing a descriptive catalogue of the Germanic sculpture in the Fogg Museum and the Busch-Reisinger. It has just been published under the title, German and Netherlandish Sculpture, 1280-1800: The Harvard Collections.

Our Bauhaus Research Archive has been in existence since 1950 and has been steadily growing. The establishment of a second research collection involved us in a cataloguing problem of a different nature from that of the sculpture publication. In the year 1963, the widow of Lyonel Feininger presented us with well over ten thousand items dealing with the professional career and personal life of her distinguished husband. The Feininger Archive includes a vast number of letters which have been deposited in the Manuscript Department of Houghton Library. The remainder of the material is in the Busch-Reisinger and consists of nearly five thousand drawings, unfinished oils, woodcuts, lithographs, photographs of paintings, and memorabilia. The whole is a fascinating record of one of the great artistic personalities of the first half of our century. The formidable task of cataloguing this material and preparing it for use is now complete, and the Feininger Archive is available to scholars.
