Scope and Contents
The papers of painter F. Edwin Church (1876-1975) measure 0.7 linear feet and date from circa 1882-2012. The papers include correspondence relating primarily to loans and sales of Church's Japanese art collection and his own artwork, sketches and a study on panel for a painting, and biographical information including photos of Church and his family. Also found is correspondence relating to family genealogy, which is especially significant since Church had the same name as Hudson River School artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900).
