Subseries 2.1
Research files, 1821-2006
Boxes 7-15
Scope and Content Note
This subseries consists of research files compiled by Edwina Harleston on the life and times of her uncle, Edwin Harleston. Most of the files are contextual files that deal with general topics on African American political, civil, and art history or files that address specific African American themes and figures, including Edwin Harleston's immediate family. Some files are specific to the life of Edwin Harleston and consist of printed material on him and photocopies of his writings and art work. There are also files that consist of Edwina Harleston's notes and correspondence that relate to research on her uncle. The files demonstrate a commitment to understanding Edwin Harleston in his proper context and were intended to provide the foundation for a monograph on his life and achievements as a seminal African American artist.
Edwina Harleston's own organization of these files has been maintained as much as possible. Some files are titled by topic and others are titled by the institutions where she conducted her research. Some files were combined into already established general files and a few files were retitled when the original title was unhelpful.
