Alvina E. Krause (1893-1981) Collection 1929-2003

http://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/catalog/inu-ead-nua-archon-664

The Alvina Krause Collection fills five legal-sized boxes and one drop front box and spans the dates 1929-2003. The bulk of the collection consists of Krause's teaching notes from her years at Northwestern University's School of Speech. Most of the material in this collection was gathered over many years by David Downs, a former student of Krause's and faculty member in Northwestern University's School of Communication. The collection includes a substantial number of photocopies that Downs made. While the collection lacks the depth that complete personal papers would have, it contains much original material and provides a useful and informative resource for researchers studying Krause's life and work.
