THE ALLAN HOUSER ARCHIVES Following Allan's death in 1994, an archive was created to house the thousands of drawings, paintings, sculpture, and other personal articles which remained in his studio. It also holds his library, his personal art and artifact collection, sketchbooks, photographs, and personal documents. Open only to museum curators and scholars, the archives serve as an invaluable resource for traveling exhibitions and research. In 1998 Mrs. Anna Marie Houser created the ALLAN HOUSER FOUNDATION to administer her collection and to operate the archives.
