Jane Apostol research materials related to The Judson Studios
Rare Books
This collection is comprised solely of photocopied research materials about the history of The Judson Studios, an art stained-glass studio located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Documents include photocopies of both primary and secondary sources collected by independent scholar Jane Apostol (died 2016), presumably for her book "Painting with Light: a Centennial History of the Judson Studios" (Los Angeles, Calif.: Historical Society of Southern California, 1997). The materials document the Judson family, primarily concerning artist William Lees Judson and his son stained-glass maker Walter Horace Judson, and related institutions the Judsons were involved in founding including the studio itself, University of Southern California College of Fine Arts, and the Arroyo Guild. The bulk of the material photocopied dates from the early 20th century to 1995, though there are two loose documents from 2000, 2002.

Visual Materials
The Greene and Greene Collection contains a wide variety of materials, from Greene and Greene ancestor, architect/engineer James Sumner's "Memo of the Timber wanted for the Steeple in Providence," dated 1775, and a diary of a European grand tour from 1829 to 1931 by an English ancestor of Charles Greene's wife, Alice, to drawings and photographs of Greene and Greene works from the time of construction through the close of the 20th century. The bulk of the collection dates from 1889 to 1975. Photographs comprise most of the records documenting their architecture. There is a small number of architectural drawings; most of the firm's drawings are housed at the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University, New York City, with a smaller collection of drawings from the estate of Charles Greene at the Environmental Design Archives, University of California, Berkeley. The collection is organized into four series: I. Personal papers, II. Office records, III. Job (project) records (including furniture), and IV. Related research materials. In general, the papers and records of both brothers have been kept together for the periods in which they were living together as students and young men, and for the period when they were partners in the firm of Greene and Greene. Within each series, the organization follows the separate lives and works of each brother from the dates at which they diverge. Although the collection has been assembled from many different sources, most items have a unique accession number identifying the donor, so that the researcher can easily identify the source of most documents.
