Albert C. Barnes (1872-1951), an art collector and founder of the Barnes Foundation, had an uneasy relationship with the University
of Pennsylvania, despite efforts on both parts to establish a collaboration in art education between the Barnes Foundation
and the University. This collection contains primarily correspondence between Barnes (or the secretary of the Barnes Foundation,
Nelle E. Mullen, on Barnes' behalf) and University of Pennsylvania officials, largely related to an effort to establish a
joint Penn-Barnes course, which met for only a few sessions in 1946 before being called off by Barnes.
