Caroline Hazard Papers (Mss. Gr. 7)

The Caroline Hazard Papers held by the University of Rhode Island include an assortment of private and professional papers spanning the period 1871 to 1939. Many of the papers deal with publications and poems by Caroline Hazard, particularly College Tom, The Memoirs of J.L. Diman, The Narragansett Ballads, and South County Studies. Others relate to Hazard's involvement with organizations such as the New York University Hall of Fame, the Society of Colonial Dames, the Gilbert Stuart Memorial, and the Rhode Island Tercentennial Committee. Still others relate to her presidency of Wellesley College, though Wellesley has the bulk of her papers from that period. Included in the papers are correspondence, draft manuscripts, printed and published material, pamphlets, bound volumes, scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, and miscellaneous memorabilia.
