BOX 1-27 Office File, 1982-2016
The Office File contains the organization's administrative records, primarily from its inception in 1984 to the memorials dedication in 1993. The series chiefly documents the design, fundraising, public relations, construction, and dedication and event planning efforts of the VWMF, as well as the publicity the project received. Office files in large part were created or received by VWMF staff or board members, but the files also pertain to the work of sculptors Eileen Barry, Rodger Brodin, and Glenna Goodacre; landscape architects Robert L. Desmond and George Dickie; and the architecture and engineering firm, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum. Also included are records related to legal disputes involving the VWMF, as well as copyright and image use requests, largely managed by the VWMF legal counsel, Paul Mahon. Digital files are primarily videos of ceremonies and celebrations, news interviews with Diane Carlson Evans and others involved in the project, and news coverage of the development of the project and their mission.
Material types include correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, notes, design and construction documents, site plans, photographs, event programs, publications, clippings, and press releases. Some photographs, news clips, and interviews are in digital format.
Arranged alphabetically by subject or type of material and thereunder chronologically. The file structure of the digital content maintained as received.
