Consists of records compiled by the researchers in the course of investigating Chase's life and work, comprising the raw material from which the published catalogue was fashioned. Most of the archival materials here are in the form of photocopies obtained from the archives of museums and other institutions, including the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art, the Cororan Gallery, the Parrish Art Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as from the scrapbooks and collections of individuals who descended from or were associated with contemporaries of Chase. The photo album and some of the other original archival material present in this collection were given to Ronald Pisano and D. Frederick Baker by Chase's estate, through Chase's grandson, Jackson Chase Storm.
