The collection consists of three scrapbooks and photo albums created and kept by Alexis Pulaski. The first contains a 1960 manuscript for his never-released book "Pulaski on Poodles," on topics ranging from breeding, to poodles in fashion (written by Nadine Bertin, who had designed poodle window displays with Pulaski), to advocacy for parti-colored poodles. All contributors are noted in the container list. The second features book promotion for "Pulaski on Poodles," publicity, publisher correspondence, press clippings, and photographs. The third, a photo album, contains photographs, clippings, and correspondence of prominent poodle owners and Pulaski friends -- from politicians (the Churchills) to actresses (Tina Louise and Joan Bennett) to Salvador Dali and various socialites, inclduing a poodle tea party. Many portraits of Pulaski and Masterpiece are interspersed throughout.
