- Scope and Content:
- This series comprises administrative and public-facing materials produced between 1964 and 2025 to promote and chronicle events, exhibitions, and programs at the Yale Center for British Art. Materials include press releases, press kits, newspaper clippings, external publications containing Museum advertisements, promotional materials, and photographic prints, slides, and negatives. These materials demonstrate the Yale Center for British Art's printed media footprint, the scope of Museum publicity and marketing efforts, and the institution’s evolving voice over five decades. Documents span multiple departmental reorganizations and thus include records from the departments of Public Information (1977-1979), Publications and Information (1979-circa 1995), Public Relations and Marketing (circa 1995-2006), Communications and Marketing, and Development.
