The Archive has several aims:

• The conservation of flat art—whether executed on paper, board, scraperboard, acetate sheet, or copper plate, in ink, gouache, or oils—in stable, dust-free conditions
• The conservation of all ‘roughs’ and preliminary sketches known to be extant
• The conservation of correspondence and documentation in connection with his work
• Ease of access to structured information about more than fifty years’ contribution to the history of illustration and humorous art of the twentieth century
• Promotion of the artwork for reproduction or
  re-use
• Opening the way to studying the evolving styles of an artist and identifying his recurrent themes
