Series III contains the notes, reflections, and daily materials that Herms refers to as
comprising a snapshot of his brain. Often there are handmade calendars, astrological
charts, and poetry. Some journals pertain to a specific project and may therefore
overlap with Series IV. Project and exhibition files. Phone numbers, business
appointments, and grocery lists appear in this series when found in combination with
drawings or other artistic content, while exclusively mundane materials are more likely
filed under Series X. Personal.
Arrangement
Arranged in chronological order by year. Where the artist was not able to assign a
specific year, he indicated the decade, as, for example, 1960s, or sometimes mid-1960s,
or late-1960s. These files are grouped at the beginning of a given decade.
