Substantial artist files exist for Peter Allegaert, Gordon Cook, Charles Griffin Farr, Morris Graves, Robert Harvey, Geer Morton, Nathan Oliveira, Fred Reichman, Jean Rustin, Stephani Sanchez, and Wayne Thiebaud. Artwork located amongst the artist and exhibition files includes pen and ink and pencil sketches by Peter Allegaert, ink and gouache sketches by Nathan Oliveira, and a pen and ink sketch by John Goray.
