Series VI. Documentation of objects in the Museo archeologico nazionale di Napoli,<br />

1960-1971, undated<br />

Physical Description: 5.6 linear feet<br />

Scope and Content Note<br />

Improving the documentation of objects from Pompeii in the Museo archeologico nazionale<br />

di Napoli was another of <strong>Vander</strong> <strong>Poel</strong>'s goals. Concerned over the state of the records in the<br />

museum, <strong>Vander</strong> <strong>Poel</strong> initiated two projects, a reconstruction of the catalog of the museum,<br />

which had been lost in the 1960s, and a photographic inventory of the frescoes not on public<br />

display. Work on these projects appears to be in preliminary form.<br />

Series VI.A. Catalog of the Museo archeologico nazionale di Napoli, 1960-1971,<br />

undated<br />

Physical Description: 2.5 linear feet<br />

Scope and Content Note<br />

<strong>Vander</strong> <strong>Poel</strong> began a reconstruction of the Museo Archeologico catalog because the<br />

original volumes, which recorded the acquisition numbers, dates of acquisition, and<br />

inventory numbers of objects held by the museum, had been lost. This reconstruction<br />

emphasizes the frescoes, but also includes other media, such as marbles, bronzes, vases,<br />

terracottas, and inscriptions. For each object, <strong>Vander</strong> <strong>Poel</strong> provided basic information and<br />

bibliographic references, and in many cases, a photograph.<br />
