{"value"=>"<p>These files document many of Artkraft Strauss' major projects in the 1980s and 1990s from the initial proposal to completion. Files consist predominantly of correspondence with clients and vendors. Also included are internal memoranda and meeting notes; bid applications; project proposals; cost studies and related research; drafts of contracts, license agreements, leases, and other legal instruments. Project files contain information on locations in New York City and elsewhere where Artkraft Strauss leased advertising space. Additional correspondence can be found in Series II. Signcorp management files. Occasionally, photographs, blueprints, and technical specs are extant, though researchers looking for visual documentation of signs and projects should refer to Series III: Job files and Series VII: Photographs for more thorough documentation. Project files are arranged alphabetically; no standard naming convention was implemented by the company, so material may be listed under location, project name, or subject.</p>"}
