The collection includes 501 imperial carte de visite photographs, principally of members of Congress from 1872 to 1876, many of the photographs being embellished by added signatures trimmed from letters or other documents.
The Alan G. Barnsley Papers consist of eight letters from such prominent writers as Ian Fleming, C.S. Lewis, Muriel Spark and Stephen Spender.
Abbreviations used in this register include: ALS (autograph letter signed); TLS (typed letter signed).
The Rev. Francis A. Barnum, SJ Papers contain a wide variety of material, including correspondence, Fr.
