In this presentation, I will introduce the work of the Franklin Furnace, an institution dedicated to supporting, presenting, and preserving avant-garde artwork in ephemeral forms since 1976. I will describe the technical and conceptual processes which I utilized during my fellowship to catalog items from the FF’s collection of vertical files, a recently completed project three years in the making.
