Introduction to the Collection

The records of the Saint-Gaudens Memorial consist of correspondence, financial records, trustee records, flyers, programs and audio cassette tapes with interviews conducted primarily by Joan Platt and James Farley. The records chronicle the day-to-day operation of the Memorial since its inception in 1919.

Introduction

The Saint-Gaudens Memorial is a private, non-profit corporation chartered by the State of New Hampshire in 1919, to preserve and exhibit Augustus Saint-Gaudens' home and studios. The trustees operated the site as a museum from 1927-1965, when they donated the property to the National Park Service. Each year the Saint-Gaudens Memorial sponsors a summer concert series at the site, an annual event since 1946, as well as three art exhibitions in the Picture Gallery, a tradition since 1948. The Memorial also contributes toward the ongoing conservation treatment of museum objects, acquires new objects for the park's museum collections, and sponsors educational programs.
