The European Art Department Records contain correspondence, memos, exhibition and object research files, and dealer related materials, primarily from the tenures of Patrick J. Kelleher, Ted Coe, Roger Ward, and Ian Kennedy. Exhibitions heavily represented in the records include Impressionism: Selections from Five American Museums (1990), Durer to Matisse: Master Drawings from the Permanent Collection (1998), Manet to Matisse: Impressionist Masters from the Marion and Henry Bloch Collection (2007), and Art in the Age of Steam: Europe, America and the Railway, 1830-1960 (2008). Special projects documented in the collection are, among others, the Italian paintings and German and Netherlandish paintings catalogues, the reinstallation of the museum's west end, and deaccessioning efforts.

Processed materials, dated 1933-2001, consist of the records of Patrick J. Kelleher, Ted Coe, and Roger Ward. They are organized into three subseries: Patrick Kelleher Files (Sub-series A); Ralph T. “Ted” Coe Files (Sub-series B); and Roger Ward Files (Sub-series C).

Unprocessed materials, 1903-2010, bulk 1954-2010, pertain to the European Art Department as a whole and relate to its administrative and general activities, outreach, and development.
