Subseries Description

As a book artist, Martha Hall experimented with a broad range of techniques, materials, and ideas. This subseries documents her creative journey through experimentation and application as embodied in the production of her numerous finished and unfinished artist’s books. Included are paper samples, models, drafts and final versions of text, printing samples, extra pages, and other preparatory and documentary materials, arranged, when possible, by the title of the work to which they relate. There are several folders related to seemingly unfinished, or potentially unidentified, works, several of which were underway when the artist passed away in December 2003.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
