| title | Abram L. Sachar; Brandeis University Chancellorship Papers, 1890-1993, n.d. | repository | Brandeis University |
| description | The materials in this collection were created from 1890 to 1993, with the majority dating from after 1968. The materials in this collection document Sachar's involvement with Brandeis during his years as Chancellor of the university. The bulk of the materials consists of a large collection of correspondence with both individuals and institutions regarding personal topics, speaking engagements, fundraising, and other university-related concerns. Also included are materials on financial topics, including the Sachar Fund and donor relations, as well as Sachar's personal files on many university events, programs, and figures. Prominent among these are the materials dealing with later Brandeis presidents, various international programs, and the Sachar International Center. Lastly, there is a small selection of speeches written and given by Sachar at his many public speaking engagements; many of these include his notes and drafts. History--Biography Abram L. Sachar served as Chancellor, and later Chancellor Emeritus, of Brandeis University from the time of his retirement from the presidency of the university in 1968 until his death in 1993. The Chancellorship position was created for Sachar to allow his continuing involvement with the university, particularly regarding fundraising. Sachar was a tireless campaigner for Brandeis and developed personal relationships with many donors. Sachar also continued to be a spokesman, ambassador, and public figure for the university, taking part in speaking engagements across the United States and travelling abroad to explore international ties for Brandeis. **Correspondence, box 12 has correspondence with Lillian Poses. |

| title | Graduate School & University Center Archives, Presidents Files, Proshansky | repository | Graduate School and University Center |
| description | Dr. Proshansky became acting president of the Graduate School in mid-1972, when Dr. Rees retired, was inaugurated as president in 1974, and died in office in December 1990, a few months before he was scheduled to retire. An initial but fragmentary collection of his papers was processed in the spring and summer of 2003, and formed the basis for this Guide. In December, 2003, and May, 2004, two much larger collections of his papers were uncovered and processed, and some 30 more boxes of papers surfaced in 2005 and 2006. (The 2006 accession consisted of papers evidently collected and maintained by Joan Byers, Proshansky’s executive assistant.) All the later accessions were processed and integrated with the initial files. This Guide covers the entire collection of his papers now in the possession of the Archives. Several files appear to have been transferred unaltered from Dr. Rees’s office to Proshansky’s and to have remained that way (see, for example, folder 3 under “Programs (General)”). Likewise, some papers post-dating his death were added to his files and remained there instead of being transferred to those of his eventual successor, Dr. Frances Degen Horowitz. There is evidently some overlap and, possibly, some duplication. Many papers appear to be missing, such as letters to which Dr. Proshansky replied, his replies to letters received, replies to letters he sent, enclosures cited in the letters, and the like. Some of these may have been transferred to other people to handle; others may have been discarded in the course of weeding the files or packing them up and moving them. |

| title | Poses Institute for the Arts: Creative Arts Awards Collection, 1954-1994, n.d. | repository | Brandeis University |
| description | iles in this collection were created from 1954 though 1994. Materials include correspondence, memos, minutes of meetings, press material, photographs, program material, financial reports, and audio-visual material. The material pertains to general administrative information including the selection of commission members and award recipients. The files also include information about award recipients. Other files include correspondence with juries and award recipients. Most of the materials were written or received by the Creative Arts Awards Commission Office. An alphabetical listing of award recipients is also available. History--Biography The Brandeis Creative Arts Awards were created in 1956 to recognize excellence in the arts, and to help draw the attention of the campus community to the lives and works of active American artists. As originally conceived, awards were presented for painting, poetry, music, and theater. Over the years these categories were enlarged to include sculpture, architecture, film, photography, and other creative arts. Generally each category received two awards: a Medal to an established artist in celebration of a lifetime achievement; and a Citation to an individual in an earlier stage of his or her career. In addition, from time to time the Creative Arts Awards Commission bestowed the Notable Achievement Award to a person whose contributions to the Creative Arts in America exceeded his or her contemporaries beyond the boundaries of the Medal and Citation. The recipients for the annual awards were decided by the Creative Arts Awards Commission, a group which included artists, collectors, curators, and art administrators. The Commission authorized the selection of the jury chairpersons and the formation of each jury, and then voted to accept or reject the recommendation of the juries for the Medal and Citation recipients, as well as for the nomination for the Notable Achievement Awards recipients. Prior to 1990, the awards were celebrated at two events in the Spring of each academic year. The first was a festival held on the Brandeis campus which provided an opportunity for the recipients to share their work and talent with Brandeis students and faculty. The second was an evening affair, with a reception, a visual or live presentation of each artist's work, and the award ceremony in New York City. After 1990 the award ceremony and the campus festival were combined into a day-long program held on the Brandeis campus. In 1995, the Creative Arts Awards evolved into The Poses Institute of Arts at Brandeis University. Continuing the legacy of artistic recognition, The Poses Institute of Arts seeks to "honor extraordinary artistic achievement" by awarding annual residencies for artists in diverse artistic disciplines. |
