The Rev. Laurence J. Kelly, SJ Papers include two boxes of appointment books or diaries; two boxes of notes for sermons and retreats; one box of notebooks, mostly from school and college days in the Society; one box of correspondence, photos, and printed memorabilia; and one half-box containing a few artifacts.
Includes photographs of students, faculty, campus, and Washington, D.C. Among those pictured: Willie Oakes; Bill Curtin; Phil Greenwell; Johnny Gilroy; Charlie Cox; and Frank Kelly. Also, Healy Hall tower.
The collection primarily consists of personal correspondence. Letters from male admirers provide some insight into life in the British Armed Forces during World War II. Business exchanges relate to the commissioning and sale of women's travel clothing. Included are photographs of Tracey with acquaintances.
Two boxes, each filled with small bound 'diaries' or appointments books, covering the years 1906-1955. The earlier ones are small, but from 1924 on Kelly used a consistent type that allowed him to record mundane details--but not thoughts usually--for each day.
Two boxes of sermon and retreat notes, mostly bound in red tape in thick packets.
