Correspondence List by Item
The former Series 2: Correspondence from Harris Family Members, Series 3: Correspondence to Harris Family Members, and the Supplement have been integrated to one correspondence series. The series appears under sous-fonds 1: Harris Family Papers, Series 1: Correspondence. The list below includes old and new box numbers. The order replicates the order of the previous series.
Note: Dr. Robin Harris wrote a book based on the diaries of several of the Harris women. In working on the book, he borrowed correspondence from the original donation. Most was returned at the same time as the 1996 or 1997 donations. These items were integrated with the contents of the later donations to document their use. The note: "RH missing" refers to these items. The note: "RH returned" refers to items that were returned and placed back in their original locations before the later donations. Other items are listed as "not in file" or "file not in box", these may have be located elsewhere in the records or in the later donations.
