Typescript list converted to item data by Christine Elias November 2019.
Due to its high use, the entire collection was re-boxed into Type 2 archive boxes, and transferred into acid-free folders. Some of the more fragile items were placed in Mylar or other inert plastic sleeves. Items in each group were checked against the original listing, as the correspondence particularly, was out of order. Items needed to be re-ordered to match the lists. Note a booklet titled: Thrift in Time and Talents (No. 4/2/6) appears to be missing.
Some items seem to have been added after the original transfer. The typed list appears to have been updated, however, several additional items needed to be manually added to the list. These have been added in pencil. Note particularly the addition of 5 letters from 1914 that have been inserted at the end of Group 3 (Other Correspondence). The added items were numbered 3/14/1 to 3/14/5, but as little is known about their contents, may require further research.Collection CategoryUniversity, individualsAccess StatusOpen for public accessRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this AccessionSearch within this Accession
