From the beginning, the Museum of Modern Art's trustees intended that the Museum should be more than a repository or an exhibition
gallery for modern art and that it should promote an understanding of the most vital art being produced in the time to the
widest possible range of individuals and institutions. In 1931, two years after it was founded, the Museum organized its first
exhibition of modern architecture and what was to become its first traveling exhibition,
The International Exhibition of Modern Architecture. The trustees assumed responsibility for half of the cost of the show, on the condition that the balance could be raised
among other participating institutions. An illustrated pamphlet outlining the plan and the importance of the exhibition was
sent to museums throughout the country and eleven institutions subscribed. During 1931 the Museum had assembled sixty color
reproductions with commentary by Museum director Alfred H. Barr, Jr. for a group of New York secondary schools. This exhibition,
A Brief Survey of Modern Painting, was so well received during the first year of the tour which began in October 1932 that a duplicate show was prepared, which
traveled for nine years.
These two exhibitions prepared the way for the Department of Circulating Exhibitions, officially established in 1933, which
supplied exhibitions of modern art to other institutions. Elodie Courter, a member of the Museum staff, became Secretary of
Circulating Exhibitions in November 1935 and played an active role in the development of that department. She was named director
in 1939, a position she held until 1947. During that period, the number and variety of the Museum's traveling exhibitions
increased, until the roster of circulating exhibitions encompassed all the fields included in the Museum itself: industrial
design, the graphic arts, theater arts, photography, and film, in addition to painting, sculpture, and architecture.
Among the most widely-seen exhibitions circulated by the department in its first five years were
Machine Art, 1934-38;
Paintings, Watercolors and Drawings by van Gogh, 1936; and
Portrait of the Artist's Mother" by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, 1933-34. In addition, the department adapted and circulated during its first decade Museum exhibitions such as
American Folk Art, 1932-33;
Cubism and Abstract Art, 1936-37;
Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism, 1937;
Photography: 1839-1937, 1937-38;
Six Modern Sculptors, 1936-38; and, in the 1940s,
Ancestral Sources of Modern Painting, 1941-46;
Latin American Contemporary Art, 1942-43;
Modern Architecture for the Modern School, 1942-46; and
Picasso: Forty Years of His Art, 1940-43.
In 1939 a grant was obtained from the Rockefeller Foundation to enable the Museum to expand its program of exhibitions specially
prepared for smaller educational institutions. During the next four years, a large number of inexpensive exhibitions, including
original works as well as color reproductions, was assembled and offered at nominal fees to the exhibitors. High-quality color
reproductions enabled the Museum to introduce to the public works that would otherwise have been too costly to pack and ship
or perhaps impossible to obtain on loan; exhibitions such as these proved ideal for educational institutions. Among the most
widely-circulated of these exhibitions were
A Brief Survey of Modern Painting, 1931-39;
How Modern Artists Paint People, 1943-48;
Paintings and Drawings by Vincent van Gogh, 1935-42; and
What Is Modern Painting?, 1944-54.
When, in 1943, the Rockefeller Foundation grant was exhausted, the Department of Circulating Exhibitions and the Museum's
Educational Program, under the direction of Victor d'Amico, combined facilities to provide further material for use in secondary
and elementary schools. This program was later modified to include multiple exhibitions consisting of lightweight panels on
which color reproductions, photographs or diagrams were mounted; teaching portfolios, which were designed for classroom use
and offered to educational institutions at a special reduction; and slide talks, which included both color and black-and-white
slides as well as an accompanying text. These materials also played an important part in the continuation of the Museum's
exhibitions program during World War II, when the circulation of large-scale exhibitions was necessarily curtailed. Many of
the exhibitions that were prepared for circulation during the war period focused on topics that were an adjunct to the war
itself, for example,
Camouflage for Civilian Defense, 1942-44;
Road to Victory, prepared in multiple editions for circulation in 1943-44;
The Arts in Therapy, 1943-46;
War Posters Today, 1942-44;
"Yank" Illustrates the War, 1943-44; and the large-scale exhibition
Airways to Peace, which was circulated in 1943-44. Exhibitions were also prepared in cooperation with the Office of War Information (OWI) for
purchase and circulation abroad.
In 1952, a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund made possible a five-year project, the International Circulating Exhibitions
Program, expanding the scope of the Museum's traveling exhibitions to include Europe and Latin America. Porter A. McCray,
then director of the Department of Circulating Exhibitions, was appointed director of the newly formed International Program.
Twenty-two of the first twenty-five exhibitions prepared under this project were circulated outside the United States; the
remaining three, devoted to arts of other countries, circulated in the United States. In 1969, the administration of exhibitions
presented in New York and of those circulated by the Department of Circulating Exhibitions were consolidated into one department,
the Exhibition Program. This new department was directed by Wilder Green. From 1972 to 1996 Richard Palmer was director of
the Museum's Department of Exhibition Program.
The processed papers of the the Department of Circulating Exhibitions include 147 linear feet of correspondence, research
notes, published materials, lists, large-format scrapbook albums, photograph albums, photographs, photographic panels, record
album, display book, and ephemera pertaining to departmental administration and the organization and circulation of exhibitions.
73 linear feet of records are stored in 20 10.25x12.5x15.5" storage boxes; 102 5" document boxes; 17 2.5" document boxes;
1 3x5x12" and 2 4.5x6x8" index card boxes. The remaining 74 linear feet include 49 16x13x4" large-format albums containing
press clippings, photographs, promotional and other materials pertaining to individual exhibitions circulated by the department;
1 10x12" photograph album; 57 8.5x11" photograph albums; 2 bundles (32x43.5"; 20x25") of photographic panels; 1 12" acetate
record album; and 1 21x23.5x5" particle-board display book.
During processing, we discovered records of exhibitions that traveled but that were not listed in the Museum's files; working
folders for exhibitions that had been proposed but were ultimately cancelled; exhibitions listed in Museum records for which
no documentary material exists; records for international circulating exhibitions containing foreign artwork that were circulated
nationally and to Canada, or that were transferred from the Department of Circulating Exhibitions for international circulation;
and Educational Program projects that were transferred to the department for circulation. The inclusive dates for these records
is 1931 through 1969. This predates the official establishment of the Department in 1933 and ends with the reorganization
of the Department of Circulating Exhibitions into the Exhibition Program in 1969.
The Department of Circulating Exhibitions collaborated with all curatorial departments within the Museum in order to insure
a diverse program of exhibitions covering a wide range of media - painting, sculpture, prints, photography, graphic and industrial
design and architecture. As a result, the records include correspondence from staff important to the early history of The
Museum of Modern Art, including Alfred H. Barr, Jr., René d'Harnoncourt, Dorothy C. Miller, James Johnson Sweeney, James Thrall
Soby and Monroe S. Wheeler, among others. Also included are the administrative records of the first director of the department,
Elodie Courter.
These papers reveal the Museum's role as a promulgator of modern art in this country, both through its innovative program
of circulating exhibitions to other institutions, as well as its role in educating several generations of art students, as
well as the general public, through its collaborations with the Museum's Educational Program. They also reflect the Museum's
support of U.S. interests abroad during and immediately following World War II. For example, the Department of Circulating
Exhibitions prepared numerous exhibitions for the United States Office of War Information for European tour during the 1940s,
including the survey exhibitions
America Builds and
Modern American Architecture Additionally, during this period, more than two dozen exhibitions of photographs and government war posters were prepared
for national tour that focused on such timely issues as wartime housing, internment of Japanese-Americans and the cultural
impact of the war. Similarly, the department was instrumental in establishing a program of cultural exchange with Latin America
through its collaboration with the Office of the Coordinator for Inter-American Affairs in Washington, D.C., for which it
organized exhibitions of Latin American art for circulation in this country as well as exhibitions of American art and architecture
for tour in Latin America. This later served as the model for the Museum's International Program which began in 1953.
These papers are also an important source of general art historical information. For instance, the pioneering Museum of Modern
Art exhibition
Cubism and Abstract Art, which was held at the Museum in Spring 1936, was circulated nationally in 1936-37; the files contain, for example, autographed
letters to Alfred H. Barr, Jr. from Alexander Calder, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Giacometti, Jacques
Lipchitz and Piet Mondrian, as well as other artists whose work was included in the exhibition. Other original documentation
includes lecture notes by the art critic Meyer Schapiro, which were prepared for the retrospective exhibition
Picasso: Forty Years of His Art, circulated in the early 1940s; and László Moholy-Nagy's panel sketches for the 1942 exhibition
How to Make a Photogram.
The records are open for research and contain no restricted materials.

Exhibition catalogs are available in the Library.
The papers were transferred to the Archives from four separate sources: a storage area above the Library (transferred from
the Exhibition Program Department, Summer 1985); a records warehouse; and the departments of the Registrar and of Public Information.
Before processing began, a complete list of circulating exhibitions did not exist. A preliminary list of approximately 700
exhibitions was compiled by cross-referencing existing aids: the Registrar card index, the album card index and a list maintained
by a former member of the Circulating Exhibitions staff. This list, which formed the basis for the finding aid, was supplemented
by a thorough reading of the papers during processing as well as research conducted in the International Circulating Exhibitions
records, the Library, and in the offices of the Registrar and the International Program
Series III, Albums 1931-1952 are available in digital format (PDF/JPEG2000) and on microfilm at the Museum Archives.

Department of Circulating Exhibiions Records, [series.folder]. The Museum of Modern Art Archives, New York
Due to their brittle and deteriorating state, the scrapbook albums of Series III were cleaned, rehoused, and microfilmed in
2007. Digital scans were made from the microfilm at the same time. The purpose of the conservation and reformatting project
was to treat the original objects for long-term storage and to provide greater access to information. In a temporary, in-house
conservation lab, each album was disassembled and placed in custom-made archival folders and boxes. Each page was brushed
to remove excess dust and debris, and items were detached from support pages to make visible information obstructed by glue
or other adhesives. All album covers were kept as part of the collection.
During the conservation process, the albums were given a sequential number order following the original arrangement. Exhibitions
within the albums were also given a sequential number order. Further, more accurate data about the material in the albums
was gathered. Previously unlisted exhibitions and albums have been added to the finding aid. Date ranges were referenced against
exhibition itineraries and the Exhibition History List. Exhibition titles were confirmed against information in the albums,
exhibition files and the Exhibition History List. The type of document (itinerary, checklist, press release, etc.) was identified
for research purposes and is included in the description of each exhibition below. This information, as well as the exhibition
title and date, is also included as metadata in the digital files.
All material in the albums has been captured with the exception of MoMA publications as they are readily available elsewhere.
Full image of oversize items can be found on microfilm reel 27. All binding tools and hardcovers for Albums 21, 22, 34 and
46 have been kept for reassembly.
Microfilm and digital scanning was produced by Hudsonmicroimaging, Inc in accordance with standards set by ANSI, AIIM, Library
of Congress and the RLG Guidelines for Microfilming to Support Digitization.

Administrative Matters, arranged into twenty-four series, includes departmental records from 1932 through the 1960s. Significant
chronological gaps exist, most notably, in the areas of program proposals and status reports, finance and exhibitor correspondence.
Other record types include annual calendars and catalogs of exhibitions available for rental or purchase; published material
on the department's activities; a visual card file of color reproductions of works of art; correspondence regarding the preparation
of exhibitions for the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the Office of War Information (OWI); memoranda concerning
the International Exhibitions Program; loan and exhibition statistics; exhibitor questionnaires; and promotional materials.
Much of this material dates from the mid 1930s and 1940s and highlights the Museum's active support of the United States Government
as well as European art and artists during World War II. For related exhibition materials, see Series II.1: Exhibitions, 1931-69.
Due to the complexity of the collection and the historical organization of the material, folders in this series have been

| I.24 Exhibitor Correspondence
|
|
221 folders contained in 19 5" document boxes; 8 linear feet
Correspondence was originally maintained alphabetically by city of origin as well as chronologically by year; e.g.,"1937 A,""1944
A," etc
The alphabetical organization has been maintained; however, papers have been integrated chronologically, eliminating the need
to consult numerous chronologically arranged files for correspondence from a single individual or institution. Chronological
gaps exist; records may have been discarded during the late 1970s and early 1980s when the Museum's building expansion program
necessitated the relocation of departmental staff.
Since correspondence is filed by city, the researcher must know the location of the institution or the individual correspondent's
city of residence (e.g., correspondence with Wesleyan University is filed under Middletown, CT); therefore, these records
are best used in conjunction with the exhibition files inventoried in Series II.1, which contain the names and locations of
all exhibitors on an exhibition's itinerary. Note that suburbs, boroughs and neighborhoods within the boroughs of New York
City - e.g., Bayside, Brooklyn, Floral Park, Forest Hills, Ft. Hamilton, Jamaica, Ozone Park, Ridgewood, Riverdale and Staten
Island - were frequently filed alphabetically by name as well as within the New York City correspondence files.
