http://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/catalog/inu-ead-nua-archon-1023

The Harriet R. Mowrer papers fill two boxes and are arranged in seven subseries: correspondence, teaching files, case records, research files, professional organization files, speeches and papers, and publications. These are preceded by two folders of biographical materials including vitae, entries for biographical works, and clippings. These papers relate primarily to her professional activities; there is little personal material here. The correspondence deals primarily with Mowrer's affiliations with professional organizations, her case work and consulting activities, and publications. The teaching files contain reading and Lecture notes as well as student papers.
