archival material at Shelburne Farms also warrants further study. The estate ledgers also
promise to be a source of information regarding maintenance schedules and routines revealed
through entries of bills paid.
HYDE PARK PHOTOGRAPHS AT VAMA
An uncatalogued and unidentified collection of snapshots by estate employees should be
identified and studied.
HYDE PARK UNTRANSCRIBED WIRE RECORDINGS
Some of the earliest oral interviews remain untranscribed on fragile wire recordings and could
not be accessed.
LOCKWOOD, MR. H.A.
Mr. Lockwood was Frederick Vanderbilt's last secretary and the secretary of his estate. His
papers should be traced. (Mr. Lockwood identified through Historian's Research Notes, #1001,
August 2, 1945.) Similar attempts should be made to locate Louise's secretary's papers.
MUSEE BARTHOLDI, COLMAR, FRANCE
Glaenzer became very friendly with Bartholdi and served as translator for his father-in-law,
Richard Butler. In Bartholdi's letters to Butler, he always asks about Glaenzer. It would be
worthwhile to pursue Bartholdi/Glaenzer correspondence.
MUSEE DES ARTS DECORATIF, PARIS
Drawings by Poirer et Remon.
NEW YORK TIMES PHOTOGRAPH MORGUE
Search for additional pictures possibly made in 1938. $100 search fee.
NEW YORK YACHT CLUB PAPERS
Since Frederick was a member of the Yacht Club, the archives should be surveyed.
ROUGH POINT
This property was left to a not-for-profit preservation organization by Doris Duke. The
property was inaccessible during the research period but should be open soon.
SONOGEE
The collections of the Bar Harbor Historical Society and other local repositories should be
checked for interior photos.
PAUL SORMANI AND POIRER ET REMON
The nature of Glaenzer's relationship with these two Parisian cabinet-makers has yet to be
determined. There are labeled pieces of furniture by both in the VAMA collection detailing that
they were made for Georges Glaenzer.
VAN ALEN FAMILY
Contact should be made with Daisy Van Alen's grandsons. There should be family photos.
