George Walter Vincent Smith Archives
In addition to housing art collections, the museum stewards hundreds of photographs and documents that tell the story of Springfield’s first art museum and offer insights into the lives of its benefactors.
Funded through a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, digitizing and sharing these Archives began in 2020.
