| title | Research notes and family papers |
| repository | The Winterthur Library |
| description | This collection of papers includes research and genealogical notes, photographs of European cities taken during the 1930s, and correspondence. The notes concern many American artists and various New England families. The photographs show public buildings and architectural detail of Europe between the world wars. There is also a typescript of part of Charles Willson Peale's diary of 1817 and a rough draft and galleys of a book that Belknap was writing, entitled American Colonial Painting. In addition, the collection contains correspondence of Rey H. Belknap concerning the establishment of a memorial to her son's work. There are also papers that Mrs. Belknap generated in an effort to carry on her son's research. Mrs. Belknap's papers actually constitute almost half of the collection. As well, the collection includes one reel of microfilm. On this may be found typescript wills, inventories and other materials relating to many families, including the De Peyster family in New Jersey, Duychinck, De Lancy, Roosevelt, Bogert, Remsen, Lott, Van Schaick, Rutgers, Beekman, Hallet, Schuyler, and Flagg families among others. Assorted family memorabilia is found in Boxes 38 and 39, including some medals (one made by Tiffany & Co.), yacht club buttons, army insignia, a folding ruler, and some very worn foreign coins. A group of photographs, mostly photos of old family portraits, is found in Box 36. A set of drafting tools may have belong to Waldron P. Belknap, Jr., although a few items in the box are marked with the name A. Robeson. |

| title | Collection of English mezzotints and engravings, [microform] 1685-1830. |
| repository | The Winterthur Library |
| description | The microfilm includes a selection of English prints from the Belknap collection at Winterthur. The artists represented on the film include John Faber (Sr. and Jr.), Houston, Beckett, Every, Kyte, Pelham, Purcell, Simon, John Smith, Turner, Valck, Williams, and many others. As well, some continental European artists are represented, and some prints that are (or were at the time of filming) in frames. There is no index to what specific images are on the microfilm. The Belknap collection of prints is housed in the Map and Print Study Collection. An index to the collection is available. The collection is housed in 25 boxes, so the film apparently represents just a small portion of the collection. |
