Marian W. Kolisch was a photographer and the granddaughter of Charles Erskine Scott Wood, who helped found the Portland Art Museum in 1892. In this interview, conducted by Robert H. Peirce around 1990, Kolisch shares family stories about C. E. S. Wood and talks about his role in founding the Portland Art Museum. She also talks about oral history interviews, now in the collections of the Oregon Historical Society Research Library, that she conducted with people affiliated with the museum, including Pietro Belluschi and John Yeon. Peirce closes the recording by reading from a biography of C. E. S. Wood.
