The Department of American Indian Art records contain correspondence, exhibit and reinstallation planning, photographs, publicity, and other miscellaneous material. These records document the activities of the department from 2000-2012, after its division from the Department and African, Oceanic, and the Americas (AOA) in the early 2000s and with the arrival of Gaylord Torrence, founding Fred and Virginia Merrill Curator of American Indian Art in 2002.
