The arrangement, description, rehousing, and creation of a finding aid for 384 linear feet of documents, manuscripts, correspondence, catalogs, meeting minutes, and ephemera related to the life and work of artist Donald Judd (1928–1994).

Judd Foundation is undertaking a two-year project to increase access to and improve stewardship of the largest collection of archival materials relating to the artist Donald Judd (1928–1994) by processing the Donald Judd Papers. Consisting of 384 linear feet located in Judd Foundation’s main office in Marfa, Texas, the Donald Judd Papers are the core of the Judd Foundation Archives and are comprised of materials pertaining to the life and work of the artist, including papers documenting his art, activism, architecture, furniture, and design practices; writings; interviews; correspondence; exhibition documentation and ephemera; financial records; and personal papers. The two primary goals of this project are to gain physical, intellectual, and procedural control of the Donald Judd Papers through arrangement, description, and rehousing; and to make accessible the rich documentation of Donald Judd’s work to the global academic, artistic, architectural, and humanities research communities.
