This collection consists primarily photocopies of articles, parts of books, conference proceedings, and printouts from the web about the Ara Pacis. They range from 1872 through 2012. A great many of the papers are covered with notes in Rhyne’s handwriting. They show his research methods and thought progression about the many areas of interest to him surrounding this monument, including its history, conservation, alterations, housing, interpretations, and the politics involved with the current museum designed by Richard Meier in which the altar lives. A few other files deal with associated bodies such as archives and scholars on this topic.
