Series A: The See-Through Years, 1989-1994

Computer-printed manuscripts, handwritten notes, and galley proofs document Barna's process of research and writing The See-Through Years. Photographs, proofs, correspondence and contracts record the process of the book's photography, production, and publication, while grant applications and correspondence illustrate Barna's search for funding for the project. Publicity files include news clippings, articles, press releases, and correspondence.

The series is divided into 6 subseries: Drafts and Notes, Galleys, Photography, Proposals and Publication Fees, Grant Funding, and Publicity Files.
