Series III: Project Records
- Scope and content:
-
This is the second largest series in the collection. The files were referred to as "Dead Files" at Taliesin West. The project records typically include correspondence, contracts, reports, contractor paperwork and publicity material. The series is arranged by project in alphabetical order by the first letter of the project title. When the information was available, the project number is included in the project title. The file description in this finding aid were maintained from a legacy database acquired by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Files have not been verified by staff at Avery Library.
Project records for the following projects were given their own series (listed below) due to the large extent of records for each project: Arizona Biltmore, Arizona State University, Marin County, and Monona Basin.
