The archive was assembled after the
death of Harry Smith, polymath filmmaker, painter, and collector of American vernacular art,
music, and artifacts. It contains correspondence from the last three years of Smith's life,
a selection of Smith's manuscripts and art, most of his original films, his final audio
project, Materials for the Study of Religion and Culture in the Lower East Side or
Movies for Blind People, and a sizeable portion of his realia collections,
including paper airplanes.
