Isabel Holden Papers 1972-2005

http://asteria.fivecolleges.edu/findaids/sophiasmith/mnsss437.html

Volunteer; Hospital volunteer; Animal welfare advocate. Papers consist primarily of diaries which she began in 1971, the same year her husband retired, to "record what it was like to grow old and die in Northampton." There are some gaps in the diaries, which are quite detailed, introspective, and reflective of the people and goings on in Holden's life. Three spiralbound volumes of course notes, and a few miscellanous fragments, are also included.

4 boxes; (1.75 linear ft.)
