- Summary
- "This Guide to the Winterthur Library provides descriptive information for the primary research materials held in both the Joseph Downs Collection and the Winterthur Archives. The Downs Collection acquires materials from the mid 17[superscript th] century through the 20[superscript th] century that document American lifestyles, including diaries, business accounts of craftsmen, family papers, tax records, century-old fabric samples, architectural drawings, artists' sketchbooks, wills and household inventories, children's toys and games, and scrapbooks and journals. Items from individuals famous in American history rest alongside materials from people who led routine lives yet still contributed to the development of the nation. The Winterthur Archives records the creation and development of Winterthur as a private estate and a public museum, including autochrome views of the Winterthur garden, architectural drawings, and Henry Francis du Pont's correspondence with antiques dealers."--BOOK JACKET.
