Series VI: Ceremonies and Events

The collection consists of one large flat box that contains approximately 193 photos divided among 11 large folders. For the most part, the photographs have been divided by subject matter (Family Vacations, Portraits, etc.), but there are separate folders for any damaged, oversize, or color photographs. Most of the photographs are of Claire and were taken after she became a well-known fashion designer. There is one framed photograph, PP238.05.047, a portrait of Claire McCardell taken by Richard Avedon, located in framed storage.

Notes written on the verso of the photographs are listed in a General Note for each item in the container list.
