Series I: Project Records

architectural firms of his time, including Carson & Lundin, Edward Durell Stone, Emery Roth & Sons, Haines

Over 300 lighting projects are represented in this series, the majority of which are for architectural works. While Feder was renowned for his innovations in the field of theatrical lighting design, he also had an equally prolific career in lighting prominent built works in New York City and throughout the United States. Feder worked on lighting commissions for some of the most eminent architects and architectural firms of his time, including Carson & Lundin, Edward Durell Stone, Emery Roth & Sons, Haines, Lundberg, & Waehler, Harrison & Abramovitz, Kahn & Jacobs, Morris Lapidus, Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and William Lescaze. When available, the architect or firm has been indicated. Unlike the architectural projects in the collection, the theatrical projects make up a very minor portion of the series and present only a sparse representation of the productions. The theatrical projects are listed first in the inventory. The dates of the series span the 1940s to the early 1990s. The series is divided into four subseries: Files, Drawings, Photographs, Data and Specification Books. The Files series is made up of correspondence, studies, reports, budget estimates, calculations, work sheets, and other papers. The Drawings series contains lighting location plans, fixture drawings, sketches, engineering drawings, architectural drawings, and manufacturer drawings to Feder's Specifications.The amount of drawings for each project varies from a few items to, at times, over 300 items. The Photograph series contains both interior and exterior views of over 100 projects. Some of the photographs in the series represent the only remaining images of now demolished buildings. Finally, the Data and Specification Books series provides technical information for over 100 projects.
