Scope and Contents

Materials related to Bunnell's research on American photographer Alfred Stieglitz, whom Bunnell wrote his Yale dissertation on; however, materials are from throughout Bunnell's career. Materials include correspondence with other researchers, museums, and collectors; dissertations and student papers; and photocopied and original articles by and about Stieglitz. Hand- and typewritten notes and copied archival correspondence seems to have come from archival research on the Stieglitz collections at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Files on contemporaries of Alfred Stieglitz, such as Georgia O'Keefe, can also be found in this file grouping.
