Colleagues:
The Joint Committee for the Interior Design Archives of the Foundations of
the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and the International
Interior Design Association (IIDA) is currently assessing the feasibility of
establishing an archives of interior design. The Committee has contracted
with the consultants Kenamore & Klinkow to help with this assessment. As
part of the study, the scope, content and accessibility of interior design
records housed in existing archival repositories of all sorts in the US and
abroad are being examined.
To help with the study, please take a few minutes to complete the following
survey by December 15th and e-mail it to MegKlinkow @ AOL.com or FAX to Meg
at 1-708-383-3561. As you answer the questions, note that interior design
records may take several forms - programs, project notes, contracts,
photographs, slides, videos, 3-d models/objects, as well as design drawings
and boards. In addition, interior design records may be included with
architectural records, as well as existin in separate collections.
Your response is important to the success of this assessment project and we
thank you in advance for your assistance.
