Administrative and sales records include Hedges's numerous address books, mailing lists, and client information, as wells as art appraisals, auction records, and art inventory lists. Documentation on the Rising Fawn Folk Art Gallery at Lookout Mountain include records of the gallery construction, gallery scrapbook, sculpture garden records, digital records, and postcard designs. Also found here are extensive gallery sales records, including sales books which record each transaction with the date, name of purchaser, description of artwork, and sales price. Many of these sales books were used to document sales at regional art fairs and events. Additional sales records include print-outs of online eBay transactions. Researchers should note that additional sales records can be found within the Artist Files, Collector and Gallery Files, Exhibition and Art Fair Records, and Regional Files.
