Collection Description


Size: 61 boxes

Inclusive Dates: 1903-1968
Bulk Dates: 1930-1947

Scope

This collection covers a broad spectrum of Ananda K. Coomaraswamy's work in the fields of art history, philosophy, religion, and social criticism. Present in theses papers are typescript drafts, proofs, and revised published copies of many of his articles and a few of his books (A New Approach to the Vedas, Time and Eternity, Yaksas). Many retyped and edited versions of Coomaraswamy's work prepared for the Bollingen Foundation by Dona Luisa Coomaraswamy after her husband's death may be found with the manuscripts, as well as many illustrations which accompany the works that appear in these papers.

In addition, the collection houses an assortment of notebooks, subject files, and loose notes, correspondence (mostly with colleagues and editors), memorabilia including a tribute to Coomaraswamy compiled by S. Durai Raja Singam, a group of photographs and miscellaneous illustrations, a large group of reprints of Coomaraswamy's articles, plus a smaller group of miscellaneous printed material. A significant portion of the collection consists of Dona Luisa Coomaraswamy's writings, notes, and correspondence. Of special interest is Mrs. Coomaraswamy's correspondence with Wallace Brockway and Alvin Moore which details her editorial methods in her work for the Bollingen Foundation.
