BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT
Waldron Phoenix Belknap, Jr. and his mother, Rey H.
Belknap, contributed to this collection of papers. Waldron was an investment banker and later an

mother after his untimely death.
Waldron P.

SCOPE AND CONTENT
This collection of papers includes research and
genealogical notes, photographs of European cities taken during the 1930s, and
correspondence. The notes concern many
American artists and various
In addition, the collection contains correspondence of
Rey H. Belknap concerning the establishment of a memorial to her son's
work. There are also papers that Mrs.
Belknap generated in an effort to carry on her son's research. Mrs. Belknap's papers actually constitute
almost half of the collection.
As well, the collection includes one reel of
microfilm. On this may be found
typescript wills, inventories and other materials relating to many families,
including the De Peyster family in
Assorted family memorabilia is found in Boxes 38 and 39,
including some medals (one made by Tiffany & Co.), yacht club buttons, army
insignia, a folding ruler, and some very worn foreign coins. A group of photographs, mostly photos of old
family portraits, is found in Box 36. A
set of drafting tools may have belong to Waldron P. Belknap, Jr., although a
few items in the box are marked with the name A. Robeson.
ORGANIZATION
The papers
are in 32 boxes, with oversized materials in a folder in a map case drawer, and
on one microfilm reel. There is no
particular order to the collection, although roughly the papers are organized
as follows: photographs and negatives, research notes on artists and portraits,
drafts of Belknap’s book American
Colonial Painting, genealogical notes, miscellaneous notes and papers, with
correspondence scattered throughout. A
group of papers found at a later date is found in two boxes at the end. It includes photographs and a draft and a
galley proof of American Colonial
Painting.

The
materials are in English.
