SCOPE AND CONTENT
This
collection is comprised of papers, some blank, but most containing writing or printing,
with watermarks, and in some cases countermarks. Even though items in the collection are
themselves identifiable, they were gathered because of their watermarks. These marks reveal that paper in the
collection was made in
Many
of the papers in the collection were used in
ORGANIZATION
The papers are arranged
alphabetically by name or initials in the watermark. Watermarks which consist only of designs are
filed at the end.
The finding aid is in three
sections. The first is a list of the
watermarks. The second section gives
details of all the documents in the collection, many of which are of interest
because of their content. The third
section is an index to the names found in the documents (but not to the
watermarks). The index might not be
complete, and the names in the index have not been checked against the actual
documents for accuracy.
LANGUAGE OF MATERIALS
The
materials are mostly in English, with some in German, and a couple in French or
Spanish.
