Documentary Ephemera (his scrapbooks, clipping files, publications of his galleries, and an autograph collection); Series IV. Photographs (by and of him, his family and associates); Series V. Awards; Series VI. Works of Art (that which O'Keeffe determined was more of a documentary nature, less of fine art); and Series VII.
