Archival Information
The Pacific Northwest Art and Artists Archive at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art is a collection of artists' letters, exhibition catalogues, news clippings, and other materials related to their careers in the Pacific Northwest. The Archives will be established over time to complement, and provide a research base for, the Museums' collections of Pacific Northwest art- paintings, prints, drawings, and sculpture. Highlights of the Archives include:

The papers of the painter and printmaker Constance E. Fowler, a significant figure in Oregon art in the 1930's and 1940's who taught at Willamette University from 1935 to 1947.

The papers of Ruth Dennis Grover, watercolorist and encaustic painter, the Oregon coast artist who settled at Roads End near modern-day Lincoln City in 1940 and established the artists' cooperative Cascade Artists in 1950.

Materials related to the career of Carl Hall, a key Willamette Valley artist who taught at Willamette University from 1948 until 1986.

A growing collection of rare books, pamphlets, and catalogues on 20th century Oregon art.

A major addition to the Archives is the papers of the Eugene sculptor Jan Zach, received by the museum during 2000.

Basic to the vision of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art is that it be a resource for students and scholars interested in the art of the Northwest region. The Archive, as it develops over time, will be an increasingly useful body of primary sources for those who will write the history of Northwest art.
