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.

The Community Market cooperative catalog
Rare Books
"The community market cooperative catalog is a book of economic alternatives--co-ops, poor people's groups, collectives, intentional communities, and communes working to create a producer/consumer coalition trading in handmade goods, camping gear, yarn, toys, photographic equipment, clothing, furniture, bicycles, and publications. Included are articles on the theory behind counter-economy, where it is working and how; about vertical networks from co-op farms to urban buying groups. And there is a section on resources that tells where to learn blacksmithing, where to get medical and legal services, how to join a food co-op, how to develop alternative sources of energy--how, in fact, to do everything necessary to become part of the community market"--Back cover.
