"The Archive of the Museum of Primitive Art includes documents, correspondence, memoranda, photographs, and negatives from the offices of the Director, Registrar, Controller, and Curators, as well as materials from the Library and Public Relations departments. The documents relate to the exhibitions, administration, publications, acquisitions, and education programs of the Museum of Primitive Art, from its first exhibition in 1957 to its final presentation in 1974. During the period from 1975 to 1978 when the Museum of Primitive Art was closed to the public, the files from various MPA departments were brought together to form the Archive, in preparation for transfer to the Metropolitan. Materials concerning the transition of the MPA to the Metropolitan, along with the opening of the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing at the Metropolitan Museum in 1982, are included in the Archive. These materials include correspondence, memoranda, photographs, and architectural drawings and sketches." . "Photographs" . . . .
