Subjects are typically Parsons School of Design graduates, visiting critics, lecturers, or faculty. Folder contents may include press clippings, work samples, ephemera, slides, and such printed materials as business cards, postcards, and pamphlets.
For each letter of the alphabet, general folders contain information about multiple designers by last name or common business name.
