- Summary
- Rafael Sala (1891-1927) of Cataluña was a Spanish painter associated with various modern art movements of the early 20th century. He lived in New York City from 1919 to 1923. America's Making was an exposition held at the 71st Regiment Armory in New York City from October 29 to November 12, 1921. Its purpose was to present three centuries of immigrant contributions to the nation through educational exhibitions and pageantry. The Rafael Sala papers relating to the America's Making exposition, 1920-1921, consist of typescript correspondence, reference files, and printed matter regarding his participation as chairman of the Hispanic Section's Committee on Exhibits. Correspondents include John H. Finley, William Laurel Harris, H.C. Heaton, John Musser, and Lawrence A. Wilkins. Sala's reference files, 1920-1921, bound with metal clips, contain typescript memoranda prepared by America's Making, Inc. and the Hispanic Section outlining Hispanic contributions to the nation to guide their own work, mentioning exhibit and pageantry plans. Similar collected memoranda, two addressed to him as committee chair, are grouped under the file title "America's Making Suggestions." A pamphlet and copies of a flyer issued by America's Making, Inc. are also included.
