This collection consists of the biannual newsletters for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art from the charity's inaugural issue in December 1995 to May 2017.

This collection consists of a scrapbook compiled by Jack Brown, the first Librarian at the Yale Center for British Art. It includes chronologically arranged newspaper articles, press releases, and correspondence from 1964-1969. Also included are articles about the exhibition of Paul Mellon's British art collection at the Yale University Art Gallery (1965), his gift of artwork to Yale (1966), the appointment of Jules Prown as Director of the Yale Center for British Art (1968), and the selection of Louis Kahn as the Center's architect (1969).

The collection was donated to the Historical Society on December 4, 1894. In 1903 they were bound into two volumes. With another volume of material from a different donor, the collections were known as the Separate Church Papers. At a later date the documents were disbound and their page numbers from their respective volumes were noted in the upper left hand corner. The documents retain their page number order, which is roughly chronological.
