The Ernest Coxhead Additional Donation (2022-07) Series is essentially a research collection that is comprised of original materials, copies of images and text, and compiled resources and information. It has been organized into four sub-series: Personal Papers, Professional Papers, Project Records and Research Files.

The Personal Papers include primarily original photographs and photograph albums of friends, family, and travel. There is also an album of original photographs documenting the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. The Professional Papers include photographic and sketched portraits of Coxhead, and original sketch books and photographs from his time leading the A.E.F. School of Architecture in LeMans (circa 1919). Also included are copies of documents from the Coxhead office and copies of some of Coxhead’s articles.

Project Records consist primarily of photographs or photographic prints of drawings of churches and residences designed by Coxhead & Coxhead or Ernest Coxhead. Because this was someone’s research collection, the photographs may be originals, copies of originals, copies provided by other institutions, and published images. In some cases, there is printed documentation about the project.

The research files consist primarily of lists, some with images, of all of Coxhead’s projects that the researchers could locate or identify. There are two projects done by Beach’s students documenting Coxhead designed residences (the Freeman house and 2607 Hearst Avenue in Berkeley).
