Flora Stieglitz Straus collection of Stieglitz family papers
Scope and Contents
Included in the first series, Stieglitz Family Papers, are letters between family members, a draft of an autobiography by Edward J. Stieglitz, and biographical information about Julius Stieglitz. Series II, Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, contains a number of letters from Stieglitz and O'Keeffe to Elizabeth Stieglitz Davidson and Donald Douglas Davidson, and to Flora Stieglitz Straus. Series III, Leopold Stieglitz, consists of material concerning him and includes several of his journals from the 1880s. Series IV, Addition (1999), is a collection of lantern slides. Series V, Addition (2000), contains several letters, photographs and family items. Series VI, Addition (2005), consists of five autochrome portraits and their viewing devices. Series VII, Addition (2008), includes correspondence, financial papers, photographs, and albums that document the travels and activities of the Stieglitz family in Europe, New York City, and at their summer home, Oaklawn, just north of the village of Lake George, New York.
Because the material in this collection came from a number of family sources, the same types of documents (correspondence, invoices, photographs, etc.) will appear in many of the series.
