Newspapers and Clippings

• The PAFA Archives newspaper clipping scrapbooks begin with 1877 and run, with some gaps, to 1964.
• For the years 1877-81, few clippings are preserved, and there are none for 1893-1900.
• Additional loose clippings acquired at various times are on file for almost every year.
• The scrapbooks for 1877-1955 are filmed by the Archives of American Art (AAA) on reels P53-54; the years 1956-64 are on reel 4338.
• Microfilm reader-printer copies of clippings, and of school and exhibition catalogues, are permitted for research purposes only. (No other PAFA microfilm may be copied without permission.)  
• Articles on the Academy School are often found in the months of April and May, i.e., the end of the school year.
