Scope and Content Note
The collection is composed of one series, SKETCHBOOKS, 1979-2008, which contains 23 items of varying sizes. Almost every sketchbook is also accompanied by an exhibition label. The sketchbooks contain consciousness-raising notes, drawings/paintings/experiments, lists, and collected materials. Media types used include but are not limited to: glitter, water color, clippings, collage, ink, pencil, markers, paint, photographs, and nontraditional materials.
The items in the collection were donated to Rutgers by their creators after the Special Collections and University Archives' exhibition Bridging Generations: Women Artists and Organizations in 2009.
Three sketchbooks, by Mari-Claire Charba, Lynn Peters, and Michaelann Tostanoski are examples of alternative sketchbooks. Charba's sketchbook is a facsimile, but is housed in a painted wooden box tied with a ribbon. Peters' sketchbook is a handmade accordian-style sketchbook. Tostanoski's sketchbook is a hanging tier of two-sided sketches.
