Papers, 1857-1915. The collection contains correspondence related to Ward's work as a sculptor, some contracts with groups who commissioned statues from him, invoices from photographers, bronze casters, etc., and miscellaneous printed ephemera. The correspondence includes letters from sculptors, architects, public officials, craftsmen, individuals interested in ordering exhibitions or monuments, including two widows commissioning busts of their late husbands, members of art and sculpture societies, and some friends, although all of the correspondence is work-related. Correspondents include Herbert Adams, Thomas Gold Appleton, Karl Bitter, Gutzon Borglum, Daniel Chester French, Robert Underwood Johnson, Thomas Addison Richards, Edward Clark Potter, Alexander E.

Heber. The letters deal with his activities in connection with statues in New York City, particularly the Brooklyn Soldiers and Sailors monument; statuary in the Library of Congress; the St. Louis Exposition; the World's Columbian Exposition; the Henry Ward Beecher statue in Brooklyn - these papers include two small sketches of the statue, Beecher's measurements, and a telegram announcing his death and asking for instructions about taking a death mask; the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition; the Washington statue for Newburyport (Mass.); and other professional activities. There are also letters from Robert Cushing, written from Carrara and other places in Italy in 1869, describing his experiences supervising the execution into marble of one of Ward's large groups, then being done by Tommaso Gagliardi of Carrara.

The collection consists of a scrapbook, (1915-1935), containing newspaper clippings and photographs of architectural sculpture, together with loose scrapbook materials and one folder of correspondence (1894-1950). The scrapbook documents many of the projects undertaken by the father and son during the period when they worked for the major architects of the Beaux Arts school: Cass Gilbert, Delano & Aldrich, and Carrè€re and Hastings. The most important projects represented are the Donnellys' work with Gilbert on the United States Supreme Court building and the Woolworth Building. They also worked on Riverside Church, Grand Central Terminal, and the statue of George Washington for the New York World's Fair (1939). The incoming correspondence, formerly glued down in the scrapbook, includes letters of recommendation written for Donnelly by sculptor Karl Bitter, architects Cass Gilbert and Thomas Hastings, the firms of Delano & Aldrich and George B. Post & Sons.
