Biographical material includes Coggeshall's personal address books and day planning notes, his birth certificate and obituary, and a copy of his Guggenheim application and acceptance letters. There are also two oral history transcripts, the first concerning Coggeshall's life and dual career as a painter and designer, the second concerning his friendship with Walker Evans. The interviewers for each oral history are identified as W.B. and N.S. respectively, and may have been conducted by close friends Wally Barker and Nora Sayers. Also included are the records of his Manhattan home renovation project from 1975-1981.
