This collection documents Bert L. Long, Jr.’s life and his career as an artist, which he started in 1979. The original order of the collection as well as the original folder titles and folders were retained whenever possible. When the collection was received, a small percentage of the collection was in order due to the work Pete Gershon did with Bert Long through the CALL project while Ber Long was alive. The collection includes resumes and CV’s, autobiographical statements, and material relating to his exhibits, artworks, and projects. This material includes checklists, invitations, small brochures, loan agreements, shipping documents, correspondence (to and from), selected media clippings, photographs, slides, concept art, and proposals. A bulk of the materials span from the 1980s to 2013. Additionally, there are documents relating to his personal life and his careers in the military and as a chef before he became an artist. Please note that catalogs and books have been removed and catalogued.
