Series 2 contains administrative and historical records for individual sculptures and fountains, including correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, architectural drawings, clippings, conservation proposals, and dedication programs. The materials in Series 2 document the acquisition, siting, installation, relocation, conservation, and ongoing stewardship of individual works, and in some cases preserve significant documentation of proposed sculptures that were never realized.
