Series III is comprised of a small quantity of James Michael Mahar's material relating to Gandharan art. Mahar is a Professor
Emeritus in Near Eastern Studies at the University of Arizona, whose work has focused on India and its art. Although it ranges
from notes taken in a graduate school class in Eastern art to more recent ephemera, the bulk of the material relates to
The Meeting of East and West -- An Exhibition of Gandharan Buddhist Art, held at the University of Arizona in 1977 and organized by Mahar and Michael Stein, a professor in the Art History Department.
Correspondence, manuscripts, notes, museum loan forms and receipts, color photographs, negatives and slides relating to the
exhibition are included here, as well as associated teaching and conference items.
