The records include administrative files for the maintenance of the museum branch. The most interesting of these are files on the Federal Works Project Administration which not only reflect the museum at this time in history but also the economic picture as a whole. The records also include a series of files on exhibitions held at the Alger House. The files contain shipping instructions, letters from galleries loaning works of art, insurance policies, and most importantly the appraisals of works of art which were exhibited at the branch. The last series of records relates to the grounds and gardens of the Alger House. These are perhaps the most unique and unusual files of the Alger House Records. (English)
