I will say that it's historical in nature, and art from the Arts & Craft period of Europe...most directly from the artists own collections along with personal papers, letters, documents, and awards. I even have some of their tools and many of their conceptual drawings and designs as well as some of their utilitarian furniture. With exception of the actual art, most of the material has never been viewed before outside their immediate families.
I have been diligently cataloging, conserving, and digitally documenting all items over the past seven years and I am currently about a quarter of the way done...but this is primarily due to continual acquisition, although not at the pace of several years ago.
