The series files deal predominantly with administrative aspects of Millard Sheets's major incorporated company, Millard Sheets & Associates Designs. Of particular interest to researchers will be the folder, "Art and antiquities acquisitions for clients, 1960-1966, undated" that document his activities to find, select, and negotiate purchases of artwork and antiques by European and American artists for a select group of clients and acquaintances. The folder entitled, "California State Board of Architectural Examiners, 1968" deals mainly with Sheets's correspondence with state officials who were investigating charges that Sheets was performing architectural services without a license.
