[SML] Beverly Emmons lighting archive

[Philip Johnson]

The tobin collection at the McNay might be someone who could archive the
collection.  They have mostly scenic and costume designs,  I wonder if they
would be interested in hosting it.  How big is the collection?   I can call
the archivist at the McNay.   I'm sure if there was some funding attached
they might be inclined.
