The Tasha Tudor Society preserves items that will further the understanding and appreciation of Tasha Tudor’s extraordinary life.

Collection highlights include letters written by Tasha in her teen years, before she was a published author (above); letters from the 40s and 50s when Tasha was raising her family; an antique push sleigh Tasha’s children enjoyed in the 1940s that inspired sleighs in her artwork; a handmade prototype dress for designer Pierre Deux; and more.

The Collection also includes photographs of Tasha in her home and garden, at public events, and more. Commercially produced merchandise and related ephemera such as Jenny Wren Press, Corgi Cottage Industries catalogs are also preserved, though they are not the primary focus.

In 2023, a Digital Archive Committee explored avenues for public access to the Collection. At present, items from the Collection are shared in the Journal of the Tasha Tudor Society, but are not available for digital access nor for in-person research.

In 2024, the Society embarked on a new avenue for sharing the collection with a wider audience by loaning several items for the two-year international traveling exhibition Tasha Tudor, a Life with Dreams Come True. The exhibit premiered at the Keio Department Store in Shin- juku, Tokyo from October 31 to November 12 and was enjoyed by over 10,000 visitors.

The Society extends special acknowledgement and thanks to the John M. McClelland, Sr. Charitable Foundation for their support which allowed the Society to upgrade the storage containers to archival quality in 2025.
