To continue our celebration of American Archives Month 2023, we are featuring content from newly processed collections from our archive each week. This year, we are spotlighting the Georgia O’Keeffe Papers (MS33), to celebrate the completion of processing and the publication of the finding aid after many years and several archivists.
Another series in this collection includes Georgia O’Keeffe's travel ephemera. She famously loved to travel and equally loved to document these travels, creating boxes of ephemera for each location she visited. She took her first international trip in the 1930s and traveled continuously until 1983, when she went on her last international trip to Costa Rica at the age of 96. From informational pamphlets to design ideas for her home and garden, these materials reflect what she chose to keep as mementos of her travels. For more information about her travels, see the August “Mornings with O’Keeffe” talk given by Giustina Renzoni, Curator of Historic Properties, here.
These photos include pamphlets from O'Keeffe's trips to the Glen Canyon and Lake Powell area, New Mexico, Mexico, and Tahiti.
