Consists chiefly of two dimensional set and costume designs in a variety of mediums, among them watercolors, blueprints, tempera, ink, pastels, and pencil. Some designs include fabric swatches. Designers of more than 30 items represented include Lewis Brown, H. A. Condell, Ladislas Czettel, Frederick Kiesler, Donald Oenslager, Wolfgang Roth, Richard Rychtarik, and Rouben Ter-Arutunian, among others.
