Rich - Thanks for your friendly oversight of my Mitch Wilder article.
Two questions about sources:
1. How does one cite documents in archives? The archives of the Amon Carter Museum contain hundreds of Mitch's letters and other documents related to his career at the Amon Carter as well as materials from his previous positions that he deposited in the Carter archives.
The closest reference for these is archive box and folder name, for example a letter from Mitch to Rico Lebrun dated August 21, 1962, in the folder "Artists Environment West Coast - Lenders: Lebrun", in the box Exhibition History Box 12.
2. Can one cite messages from organizations that refer to or include documents?
More specifically, for the Honors and Publications sections that I recently added, can I cite the CV, which listed those items, that Mitch submitted to the Cosmos club upon his nomination for membership.
In response to my inquiry, the archivist, Rachel Nellis, on March 28, 2019, sent me an email with Mitch's CV attached, adding this information from club records:
"In addition to the attached information I found that Mr. Wilder was admitted in 1977 as a Museum Director and was a member until his death in 1979. He was sponsored for admission to the Cosmos Club by William Goetzmann, a Historian and Professor of History and UT Austin, and by Daniel Boorstin, the Librarian of Congress at the time."
Can I cite Ms. Nellis' message for Mitch's Honors and Publications? For the publications, I also plan to add Library of Congress info.
Thanks again!
