Breaking the Ice, 18 October 1980
Scope and Contents
The collection contains the records of the Le Bal de Chapeaux (1955-1956); Beaux Arts Ball (1962-2005) and Art Ball (2006-2007). Records from Balls 2008 to present will be added to the collection as processed. Records for the Balls include printed material such as invitations to the Ball and related events, stationary, menus, programs, and auction catalogues; photographs of the Ball and related events; news clippings; Ball Chairman's records such as meeting minutes, correspondence, notes, budget, purchases and other planning records; and auction, sponsorship and underwritting documents. Extant records for each Ball vary, with more material available for later Balls.
In 2006, an event planner was hired to stage the ball and records were added to the collection via the museum's Special Events Office.
