| description | The papers of Downtown Gallery (New York, N.Y.) in the Archives of American Art were digitized in 1999 from 167 reels of microfilm. The bulk of the collection has been digitized. [Researchers should note that as the Archives' first microfilm digitization project, the image quality is poor, especially for printed illustrations and photographs, due to the bi-tonal format used at the time.] |

| acquisition information | The bulk of the records were originally received as a loan in 1957 and 1967 from Edith Gregor Halpert, and microfilmed on reels ND1-ND71. Additions were received incrementally, between 1972 and 1978 from Nathaly Baum, niece of and executor of Halpert's estate, and microfilmed incrementally as well on various reels. In 1998, with funds provided by the Luce Foundation, the collection was reprocessed by Catherine Stover Gaines into one coherent arrangement, and remicrofilmed 1999-2000, totaling 167 reels of film. Most, but not all, of the documents from the early loaned material were subsequently donated. One additional document received 2016 by Karen Freeman, daughter of Arthur H. Freeman, who did business at L. D. Landau and Co. Freeman represented Halpert as an insurance agent. |
