Although the archive extends from 1876-1981, the bulk of the material dates from Joseph Duveen's tenure as president of the firm, 1909-1939, and the period from 1939 to 1964 when Edward Fowles directed the firm (with Armand Lowengard until 1943).

The correspondence describes art collecting trends among museums and individuals, the availability and purchase of art, art research and authentication, and the firm's general business practices. Eleven boxes of correspondence with Bernard Berenson detail his business relationship with the firm. Also included are records of lawsuits, correspondence between branches (some written in code), correspondence with museums, papers regarding galleries, Edward Fowles' papers, papers concerning exhibitions and loans, and papers regarding major art collectors and consultants.

| title | Elisabeth Jastrow papers, 1870-1971 (bulk 1916-1965). | repository | The Getty Research Institute |
| description | The Elisabeth Jastrow papers include personal and professional correspondence, unpublished manuscripts, extensive research notes and photographic documentation on terracotta altars, teaching notes, and material related to her father, Ignaz Jastrow, a noted economist and historian. Elisabeth Jastrow’s correspondence, ca. 3400 letters exchanged with almost 500 correspondents, documents both the personal and professional aspects of her life. Professionally, Jastrow carried on a substantial correspondence with the leading classical archaeologists of her day, including Margarete Bieber, Paul Jacobsthal and Paola Zancani Montuori. These letters contain both material pertaining to Jastrow’s specific research on terracottas and general news of the archaeological world. Jastrow’s personal correspondence includes extended exchanges with other German émigré scholars, such as Hedwig Kohn, with old friends, such as Elsa Brinckmann, and with family members, such as Beate Hahn and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander. Jastrow’s professional life is further documented by her research and writings, her teaching materials from the Women’s College of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro and miscellaneous professional papers. Her research and writings, the largest portion of the archive, include an unpublished comprehensive study of terracotta altars (arulae) in the Greek colonies in southern Italy and Sicily, as well as the production materials and offprints of her publications. Beginning with her unpublished dissertation and continuing through successive versions of that work and a lifetime of research on the topic, Jastrow amassed notes, photographs and drawings of this object type. Jastrow’s teaching materials preserved here include notes for her lectures, as well as slides and study photographs. Jastrow’s personal papers include documentation relating to her immigration and to her legal claims against Germany for restitution and compensation after the war, as well as general financial papers, address books and personal photographs. Also included in Jastrow’s personal papers are materials related to her father, Ignaz Jastrow. Biographical or Historical Notes: Elisabeth Jastrow (1890-1981), a classical archaeologist specializing in the study of terracotta altars from the Greek colonies in southern Italy, immigrated to the United States after being barred from her profession in her homeland due to the anti-semitic policies of Nazi Germany.
