Scope and Content
The Elbert Weinberg Collection includes approximately 1500 photographs documenting the sculptor’s work, plus additional photographs of a personal nature. There are approximately 1000 loose drawings, not including those that appear in more than 30 sketchbooks, and several dozen prints, including multiple states and multiple impressions of some of these. This material is complemented by an extensive collection of ephemera and personal and business correspondence, some of which documents the activities of the Elbert Weinberg Trust and some of which relates to the sculptor’s daughter Julia.
