The Benjamin Polk collection spans the years 1938-1993 and is comprised of his scrapbooks. The collection contains photographs, correspondence, Polk’s writings, and news clippings, primarily about Polk’s projects. The scrapbooks also include some personal papers, such as biographical information, correspondence, and material about his music. The collection was donated in 1994 in four binders, and its order has been maintained. The original binder number is marked on each folder.
