The most interesting records in this collection are of transactions concerning works of art. The files contain correspondence and invoices from dealers and the DIA, showing the process of personal and institutional art acquisition. Furthermore, the papers include correspondence with other governing members of the Museum, the Arts Commission, and the Trustees of the Founders Society. In many cases, Tannahill's advice was sought regarding art acquisitions. Tannahill's personal life is also rudimentally presented by his papers. In several photo-albums are many images of his childhood, his college days, and his European travels during the 1920's. The personal correspondence illustrates his relationships as an adult, and is supported by the personal business and finance papers. (English)
