below.
This autograph collection was originally compiled by Eliza Hamilton Schuyler
Lee as a scrapbook. Because the items in the scrapbook did not appear to be
arranged in any particular order and because many of the items had already been
removed for conservation treatment, the scrapbook was disbound and the papers
arranged in alphabetical order for use by researchers. To see the items listed
in original page number order, see the
appendix.
Gift of Georgina P. Howland, Mary A. Winsor, Virginia L. Paine, and Louise
F. Paine, Oct. 1957. Removed from the Robert Treat Paine papers (Ms.
N-641).
The original autographs in this collection have been removed to Special
Collections. Photocopies of these items are available for use by
researchers.
