The New School Archives And Special Collections

Contains records produced during Richard Yelle's term as department chair of Product Design (as well as its predecessors: Clay, Fiber, Metal Design; Clay, Metal, Textile Design; and Clay, Metal, Textile, and Product Design). Includes administrative records, information on competitions and exhibits, student work, course descriptions, and evaluations. Also includes examples of Yelle's professional work, and a poster for a Constantin Boym exhibit.

This record group consists of documentation created by Parsons School of Design's Product Design Department between 1990-2015. The records were created or received by various individuals, including department chairs Richard Yelle and Tony Whitfield. The record group contains office files pertaining to the administration of the department and Product Design student projects.

The collection contains analog sound and video recordings of thesis exhibitions, design competitions, community-based projects, and other events and programs related to the School of Constructed Environments at Parsons School of Design. The content largely documents events in the Interior Design Department, although at least one of the videos relates to Parsons School of Design as a whole.

The record group contains compendiums with descriptions of graduate thesis projects by students of the Parsons School of Design School of Constructed Environments programs. Programs include graduate degrees in architecture (MArch), industrial design, interior design, and lighting design. Also included is interdisciplinary student work from the MFA in Interior Design & Lighting Design and MArch/MFA in Architecture & Lighting Design.

These records contain student work, publicity materials, photographs, and audiovisual material from the Parsons School of Design School of Fashion's undergraduate and graduate programs, primarily the BFA Fashion Design program. To a lesser extent, the AAS Fashion Design and MFA Fashion Design and Society programs are also documented.

Student artist Mikael Choukroun created this screen-printed poster to advertise the 2023 Parsons School of Design Illustration Department senior show, held in galleries of The New School's Sheila Johnson Design Center.

Consists of approximately 15,058 slides, primarily 1970s-1990s, documenting Parsons School of Design students and campus life. Many of the slides are images of student work. Other images include exhibitions, award and fashion shows, social events, guest lectures, field trips, and campus construction projects. Approximately one third of the slides represent Fashion Design Department-related activities.

A collection of 4 x 5 inch color transparencies of work probably created 1970 through 1975 by Parsons School of Design students in the Communication Design, Environmental Design, Fashion Design, Fashion Illustration, General Illustration, and Graphic Design departments, including work that was exhibited in end of year shows and annual Society of Illustrators Scholarship Competitions.

Consists of Parsons School of Design syllabi compiled by the Office of the Dean in electronic formats between 2006 and 2014. While not comprehensive, approximately 20,000 courses are documented over a seven year period during which Parsons School of Design experienced a significant structural re-organization.

This collection consists of correspondence, clippings, and research related to the Parsons table, a conceptual table design thought to have originated at the Paris Ateliers, the precursor to Parsons Paris, in the 1920s or 1930s and often attributed to French designer Jean-Michel Frank (1895–1941). The materials were assembled by the New School Archives staff as part of a Parsons School of Design Design and Management Department project in 2002.
