Object files, arranged by catalog number, were created for each object included in the exhibition. The files may contain object research, correspondence, images, photographs, and notes. The objects have been grouped by type and are divided into the following categories: case furniture; tables and stands; seating furniture; upholstered seating furniture; miscellaneous seating furniture; silver; base metals; glass; ceramics; textiles, clothing, and personal adornments; miscellaneous objects; paintings, drawings, and prints; manuscripts, maps, and printed works; and other. The files are almost entirely undated.
