This collection though part of the Office of the Provost Records, includes material from almost all aspects of Harrison's career with the University of Pennsylvania. It will aid research in the history of the University Museum, University fundraising, and the development of the university in the United States. The Charles Custis Harrison records contain outgoing correspondence from his years as Provost of the University of Pennsylvania (1894-1911). The correspondence relates to his job duties as Provost: budgetary, program development, building construction, and faculty hiring. Frequent correspondents include William Draper Lewis, Edward W. Mumford, Charles H. Frazier, J. Hartley Merrick, Josiah Harmar Penniman, and William Otto Miller. There is a collection of letters sent to him from a variety of leaders in the field of education, philanthropy and the University on the occasion of his retirement. The collection also includes correspondence concerning the formative years of the University Museum of Archæology and Anthropology and its academic arm - the Department of Archæology and Palæology. There are copies of the minutes of the Board of Managers of the Museum as well as correspondence with key figures, such as Sara Y. Stevenson, Clarence H. Clark, E.W. Clark, John Henry Haynes, H.V. Hilprecht, Morris Jastrow, Jr. Typescript copies of the Museum's first excavation project at Nippur in present day Iraq complement the correspondence. In addition to these early records, the collection contains correspondence about the museum's management and collections in the 1920s during Harrison's final years as President of the Board of Managers. Information on Harrison and his family can be found in the personal and family papers series. It includes newspaper clippings and some correspondence concerning the business career of Charles Custis as well as some of the family's interest in the arts, such as his purchase of "Breaking Home Ties" by Thomas Hovenden (and includes a photograph of the artist painting the picture). There is a small amount of material relating to Harrison's wife Ellen Nixon Waln and her interest in history and the Colonial Dames.

Arthur L. Frothingham records from the Etruscan tomb groups excavation, Bulk, 1893-1903, 1890-1930

Title: Arthur L. Frothingham records from the Etruscan tomb groups excavation Bulk, 1893-1903 1890-1930

Although classical, including Etruscan, collections had been donated to the University of Pennsylvania Museum since the early 1890s it was in 1896 that the Museum formally authorized excavations in Italy and the acquisition of Etruscan tomb groups, as well as individual objects, for the Museum. Professor Arthur L. Frothingham of Princeton, then Secretary of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, was commissioned to represent the Museum in Italy. Most of the tomb groups which Frothingham obtained are from Narce and Vulci, although there are objects from many other sites including Cerveteri, Orvieto, and Civita Castellana. The textual records from the excavations in Italy consist of one linear foot of correspondence, notes, financial accounts, and photographs related to the excavation of Etruscan tombs through which the Museum obtained the majority of its Etruscan collections.

Papers of Sara Yorke Stevenson, 1890-1921

Title: Papers of Sara Yorke Stevenson, 1890-1921

Sara Yorke Stevenson, archeologist, Egyptologist, civic leader, newspaper editor and columnist, was one of the principal founders of what is now the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology. In 1894 she became the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Penn. Stevenson served as Curator of the Egyptian and Mediterranean Section and member of the Museum's governing board from 1890 to 1905 when she resigned, apparently because of the way the board handled disputes surrounding Hermann Hilprecht, Curator of the Babylonian Section. Stevenson was a founder and first president of the Equal Franchise Society, co-founder and two-term president of the Civic Club (a women's group pushing for reform and civic improvement), chair of the French War Relief Committee of the Emergency Aid of Pennsylvania, and had a leadership role in many other Philadelphia charitable organizations. For more than a decade she was also literary editor and columnist for the Philadelphia Public Ledger, writing under the pen names "Peggy Shippen" and "Sallie Wistar." These papers were removed in 2006 from a home once lived in by Stevenson's friend Frances Anne Wister. They cover the full range of Stevenson's interests. Highlights include her newspaper clippings and comments on the Hilprecht dispute, copies of hundreds of letters to her from her good friend William Pepper, Jr. (physician, provost at Penn and civic leader), and letters to her from many other Philadelphia notables.

Title: Zelia Nuttall papers Bulk, 1896-1897 1893-1903

In 1896 the University of Pennsylvania Museum sponsored its first expedition to Russia. The Museum sent Zelia Nuttall (now remembered mainly for her work in the area of Mexican studies) as its representative on a trip to establish cordial relations and a system of exchanges and cooperation, and to obtain archaeological and ethnological specimens by gift or exchange. Nuttall traveled to Moscow, Kiev, Troitzkoi, Rostov, Nijni-Novgorod, and Riga. She also attended ceremonies for the coronation of Nicholas II and there acquired commemorative prints which she donated to the Museum and to Mrs. Hearst. The collection consists mainly of correspondence from Nuttall to William Pepper and Sara Yorke Stevenson, inventories of objects acquired, and images collected at the Pan-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition at Nijni-Novgorod (modern Gorki).
