This series contains 108 envelopes that were used by Rev. James O. Arthur to house the photographs he shot circa 1913-1928. The first envelope is from Zimmerman Brothers photography store in Sioux City, Iowa. On the inner part of this envelope are prices for developing, printing, and enlarging photographs. On the outside of this paper envelope is Reverend James O. Arthur's handwritten notes including his name, date of 1904, and location at Emerson, Nebraska.
Arthur organized and numbered the rest of the negatives in plain letter envelopes based on two negative sizes: 1 3/4 x 2 3/4 inches and 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. Arthur also typed information relating to the photographs on each envelope. This information includes dates, subject matter (including names of the people depicted in the photos), and his ratings of the photographs (bad, poor, fair, good). Some envelopes feature Arthur's handwritten additions or corrections to the typed text. The envelopes for the smaller 1 3/4 x 2 3/4 inch negative set are numbered 1-50 and are mostly in red typewriter ink with a few in blue ink and date from 1913 to 1928. The envelopes for the larger 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch negative set are numbered 1-56 and are mostly in blue typewriter ink with a few in black ink and date from 1913 to 1919.
Many of these envelopes also housed Kodak Exposure Record forms with Arthurs' handwritten notations on them. The printed forms document the day, time, subject matter, exposure time, F stop, and lighting conditions of each photograph on the roll.
Some of the photographs described on the envelopes were missing from these enclosures or were not donated to NMAI.

Scope and Contents:
The papers of London textile designer Gloria Dale measure 0.2 linear feet and date from 1952 to 1970. The collection provides scattered documentation of Dale's life through correspondence, photocopies of printed material, and photographs.
The papers comprise photocopies of clippings about Dale; correspondence with Theodoros Stamos, Anni Albers, Irene Rice Pereira, Jimmy Ernst, Sally Avery, Lloyd Goodrich, and others; photocopies of the catalog for the Magic Carpets (1962) exhibition; photographs of Dale and rugs; and a typescript draft by Dale regarding the National Collection of Fine Art. Also found is a file for the exhibition Tapestries and Rugs by Contemporary Painters and Sculptors (1966-1967) at the Museum of Modern Art which includes a catalog introduction draft, loan forms, artwork checklists, and a form documenting the donation of a tapestry by Theodoros Stamos.
Arrangement:
Due to the small size of this collection the papers are arranged as one series.
Biographical / Historical:
New York native Gloria Dale (1922 -2013) was a textile designer in London, England, known for her artistry in rug designs.
In 1966, Dale married Sir William Dale, a prominent British lawyer. The couple lived in the Middle East in the 1970s, where Dale began designing bead jewelry inspired by the antique beads she found locally. She continued exploring new materials into her late 80s, taking up felting and creating abstract felts from wool which led to her membership in Britain's Contemporary Applied Arts in 2012. Dale was also a longtime patron of the British Crafts Council.
Dale died in London in 2013.
Provenance:
The Gloria Dale papers were donated in 2001 by Gloria S. Finn Dale (Lady Gloria Dale) as part of the Nanette L. Laitman Documentation Project for Craft and Decorative Arts in America.
Restrictions:
This collection is open for research. Access to original papers requires an appointment and is limited to the Archives' Washington, D.C. Research Center.
