The archives department records consists of the archives audiovisual collection, including the photograph collection, some reference vertical files, and some unprocessed files including administrative records of the department itself and folders needing refiling. The records date from approximately 1890 to 2007.

The Curatorial Records of the most complete nature are the exhibition files and exhibition catalogs. These records offer an almost exhaustive account of Corcoran exhibitions, especially after 1910. The files contain all those materials which were generated by a variety of staff members while curating each exhibition. This record group includes materials from approximately 1874 to 2013.
