Created by the museum director and/or the secretary, these files contain information pertaining to the scheduling and implementation of exhibitions, tours, and lectures, 1948-1965, including those events which were considered then rejected. These files contain a mix of correspondence, exhibition catalogs, form duplicates and receipts, along with miscellaneous notes regarding attendance, physical plant requirements, installation of exhibits, etc. The level of documentation regarding each event varies widely, from just a few leaves of correspondence to dozens of pages of mixed notes. Most of the files were generated during the tenures of John Maxon and David Carter, spanning the years from 1952-1965. Exhibition files that contain correspondence from the artist are marked with an asterisk in the box/folder list.

The file "Italy at Work, 1953" contains blueprint drawings documenting the exhibition layout at the Brooklyn Museum of Art held 1950 November 30-1951 January 31. Five drawings show the floor plan, textile display, textile and glassware display, display tables, and sign design.
