Extent:

136 boxes

Scope and content:

Contains correspondence, reports, clippings, artwork, storyboards, print advertisements and other printed materials for Bates' clients from 1969 to 2002. Major clients represented in this series include Brown & Williamson (Kool, Lucky Strike cigarettes), Burroughs-Wellcome (Zovirax), Carter-Wallace (Arrid, Pearl Drops toothpaste, Trojan condoms), Hyundai America, Joint Recruiting Advertising Program (JRAP), Miller Brewing Co., Paddington Corporation (Bailey's Irish Cream, J&B whiskey), Peace Corps, Pfizer (Visine), the U.S. Navy, and Warner-Lambert. The extent of materials varies among the clients. In some cases, the series includes only artwork related to advertising campaigns, proof sheets of print advertisements, or correspondence. Holdings are more extensive for other clients, and includes broadcast placement schedules, account expenditure audits, and market research studies. Print advertising for many of these clients have been maintained separately in bound volumes and may be found in the Print Books Series . The series begins with a "general files" section that includes materials relevant to overall client relations and an archived, numbered set of dismantled storyboards for numerous clients. Thereafter, the series is arranged alphabetically by client name.

Some materials were received as electronic files. Disks were assigned consecutive numbers reflecting the order in which they were encountered. If a work has a corresponding or associated electronic file, the file is included in the container list. The contents of each disk have been migrated to the electronic records server. Consequently, the contents of these disks are available only in correspondingly numbered electronic subdirectories. Consult a reference archivist for access to the electronic files.

Audiovisual materials have been removed to the Audiovisual Materials Series . Originals are closed to use. Technical Services staff need to produce use copies before contents can be accessed. Please consult with Research Services staff before requesting audiovisual materials.
