- Greene & Greene Huntington archive
Collection Description
The Greene and Greene Archives, USC (formerly the Greene & Greene Library) at the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, is a research facility staffed by one part-time archivist and a group of volunteers. It contains architectural drawings, correspondence, photographs, books, and other documents relating to the life and work of architects Charles Sumner and Henry Mather Greene. The collection began in 1966 with the gift of the Gamble House and associated documentation from the Gamble family. Additional large gifts of documents from the Greene family as well as contributions from the families of clients, later owners of Greene & Greene structures, and many others have substantially enlarged the collection. Documents in the Greene and Greene Archives are the property of the University of Southern California, which also operates the Gamble House through its School of Architecture. This repository is not administered by the Huntington Library, although it is housed there.
The Greene and Greene Archives, USC, at the Huntington Library is an eclectic collection of Greene & Greene materials. Since its inception, over four hundred donors have given a wide variety of items to the collection, including original job files containing client correspondence, original drawings, copies of drawings from private collections and other repositories, personal correspondence, specifications, contracts, postcards, invoices, notes, building permits, advertisements, philosophical writings, books, newspaper and magazine articles about Greene & Greene or their projects, memorabilia, sketchbooks, and scrapbooks.
