The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens
Manuscripts
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens series deals with the founding and history of The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. This series contains early book lists and bills (invoices, receipts) documenting Henry Huntington's book purchases from a variety of dealers and sales. It also includes auction catalogs, some of them with handwritten notes, perhaps by Huntington, as well as scrapbooks documenting Huntington's purchases of art (chiefly from Duveen), from 1892 to 1946. There are also documents related to a tax appeal case by the estate of Henry E. Huntington in 1934 and 1935. This includes court proceedings, appraisals of Huntington's assets, both land and companies, and maps. It also contains several boxes of photocopies of newspaper clippings from 1897 to 1949 regarding Henry E. Huntington and the creation of The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. The newspaper clippings highlight some of Huntington's noteworthy purchases. There are also clippings dealing with Arabella Huntington. The series also contains material dealing with Proposition 15, which passed in 1930. The bill gave The Huntington a tax exemption from paying property tax. There is also miscellaneous material including documents related to Huntington's head gardener William Hertrich, scrapbooks, ephemera, and business records.
