Title: Garrison Family Papers, 1694-2005

Collection contains thousands of primary sources that document the family's involvement in politics, business, art, literature, religion, education, and most of the major reform movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Extensive correspondence, diaries, clippings, articles, speeches, photographs, memorabilia, and printed sources trace the activities of the Garrison, Coffin, Mott, and Wright families. Although there are letters and other documents relating to William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), the largest part of the material relates to his son, William Lloyd Garrison (1838-1909), Ellen Wright Garrison, and their descendents. The papers are an important source on women's rights as they include the correspondence of Martha Coffin Wright with other leaders of the movement. Major correspondents on abolition, women's rights, and other reforms include Susan B. Anthony, Alice Stone Blackwell, Henry B. Blackwell, Carrie Chapman Catt, Lucy Conant, Kate Daniel, Matilda Joslin Gage, Henry George, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Emmeline and Sylvia Pankhurst, Theodore Parker, Wendell Phillips, Parker Pillsbury, Louis Prang, Caroline Severance, Anna Howard Shaw, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Booker T.
