Draper, Lyman Copeland, 1815-1891,. Draper manuscripts: Draper's historical miscellanies, 1720-1887.

Title: Draper manuscripts: Draper's historical miscellanies, 1720-1887.

A "catch all" series arranged by Reuben G. Thwaites and his staff for a varied assortment of manuscripts found among Draper's possessions. Although some pieces could more logically have been placed in other groups related to the author or content, most of the papers did not appear to fit into series which Draper had himself arranged. Some items were acquisitions with topics ranging outside the major areas of his interest, some were personal papers he had created, and a few were documents which had originated in his family.
