Subseries: V.5 contains the heart of Schapiro's research files and includes notes from a wide range of subjects. Although Schapiro was scrupulous about creating research notes, he was less concerned with how the notes were stored and filed. As a result, many of his research files contained a plethora of material that was not related to each other in either content or subject. As a result, material was organized and grouped according to the subject of the contents. For notes relating to the illumination of books and manuscripts, Schapiro organized material either by repository in which the codex is located or by region from which it was created. Physical folders indicate manuscript numbers which are represented in the file. Material related to illumination of books and manuscripts were reproduced in the 2007 publicationMeyer Schapiro abroad: letters to Lillian and travel notebooks.
