The Consuelo Northrop Bailey Papers contain materials documenting her political and legal careers, as well as her personal papers, which include correspondence, school papers, financial papers, writings, and similar materials documenting her life as well as the lives of family members and friends. This collection is arranged into four series: Political Papers, Personal and Family Papers, Legal Papers, and Photographs.
The Political Papers contain the correspondence, Secretary to E. W. Gibson, Sr. Papers, Public Office Papers (which are arranged chronologically by the five offices Consuelo held: City Grand Juror, State’s Attorney, State Senator, Town Representative, and Lieutenant Governor), Vermont Republican Organizations, National Republican Organizations, Elections, Speeches, Subject Files, and Writings from Consuelo’s political career.
The Personal and Family Papers contain the personal and family correspondence, financial records, diaries, school work, ephemera, and other family papers of Consuelo, Henry Albon Bailey, Sarah Manley, and the Northrop, Fletcher, Wallis, Cottrell, Brigham, Ford/Miller, and Ferguson/Bishop families.
The Legal Papers contain the client files, correspondence, financial records, and subject files from Consuelo’s and Albon’s legal practice, both before and after their marriage and legal practice partnership. This series also includes bar certificates, clippings, datebooks, and a few other items.
The Photographs series include all the photographs from the collection. This series is arranged the same way that the collection is arranged: Political photographs, Personal and Family photographs, and Legal photographs. The Unidentified photographs subseries includes those photographs for which neither identity of subject nor identity of context could be determined.
