Emily Hall Tremaine Papers at the Smithsonian, reproduction permissions section: Shortlisted guide to artworks

To assist researchers, below is a quick scan through the documentation that specifies which artworks are mentioned in each folder. As a reminder, this documentation provides leads, and the actual publication of the photographs of artworks needs to be confirmed by reviewing the publication.

Regarding compiled publications to date featuring former Tremaine Collection artworks, make sure to see: Tremaine Collection artworks and designs in publications (compilation; 1945-present).

> As shown in the drop of volume in artwork photograph reproduction requests in the folder, this may show that this initiative gradually stopped after the death of Emily Hall Tremaine. However, this may also suggest that curator of the Tremaine Collection Tracy Atkinson (c. 1988-91), former director of the Wadsworth Atheneum director, processed these requests. It is not known at this juncture if there are Tracy Atkinson papers available.
