The Art (0.2 linear ft.) series consists of materials relating to Redstone's intense interest in Art. This series includes information on his exhibitions and activities to promote art in the community. Also included is a watercolor painting that was part of an exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
The Article Files consists of two dated subseries (1933-1959 and 1960-1977), each arranged alphabetically by the name of author or contributor. These subseries represent a consolidation of the magazine's monthly issue files into an alphabetical sequence. The dated subseries files originally contained, in addition to galleys, drafts of published articles, communications with the editors, research and legal department memoranda, and related correspondence. The unique materials have been retained, but the files have been winnowed of most galleys and some photocopies of article drafts, and brought together alphabetically by name of author. The Article Files series also includes a third subseries, which is a sampling of the monthly issue files.
Articles contains a chronologically organized series of Laing's published articles beginning in 1961 and ending in 1987. The articles in this series are reprints provided by publishers. They do not represent a comprehensive run of Laing's published materials. In addition to his articles, the series also contains an index to the publications of the Logic of Computers Group.
The Articles of Incorporation and Founding Documents series (0.1 linear feet) contains the documents of the organization of the guild. Included are a history of both board meetings and general activities, an undated membership list, and a copy of the original proposal to form the guild.
Items in the Arts, Culture, and Entertainment series (1979-2009 and undated) concern those Sue Marx films that addressed the vibrant arts scene of metropolitan Detroit and southeastern Michigan, the area's Jewish community, stories of historical interest, and other cultural events in Michigan. Among other films, included in this series is the Oscar-winning documentary "Young at Heart," as well as productions profiling various local artists, discussing early automotive races, and exploring the Magic Capital of the World in Colon, Michigan. The Arts, Culture, and Entertainment series contains approximately 25 folders of manuscript materials, about 260 video recordings in various formats (magnetic tapes, film reels, VHS videotapes, U-matic videotapes, Betacam-SP videotapes, Mini-DV videotapes, and other formats), as well as digital file formats. The series contains 7 audiocassettes.
Within the ARTWORK series, Drawings of Buildings includes drawings of private residences and well known public buildings, mainly in Ann Arbor. These folders contain sketches on tracing paper, photographs of the actual houses and reproductions of the final drawings. Many of the drawings of buildings were used as greeting card art. Kemnitz excelled at depicting buildings, typically as line drawings but sometimes as paintings. Other Projects are larger in scope, encompassing work Kemnitz did that may include, but are not limited to, the drawing of a building. Commissioned works have not been separated from gifts by the artist, for it is not always clear into which category a work falls. Publications includes the books Kemnitz published and the various magazine covers and articles reproducing his work. Please see the clippings folders in the SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS series for potentially relevant newspaper articles. Galleries, Exhibits, Auctions & Art Fairs includes information about the various art events Kemnitz participated in.
