Exhibit Committee general files, 1958-1959, 1967-1979, relate to the Committee's responsibilities for coordinating exhibitions, and Bernard McTigue's records, 1980-1984, as chairman. Exhibitions Program Office general files, 1983-1988, include records pertaining to the administration of exhibitions programs and files on individual exhibits and vendors.
