Papers. Series VI. After Death, 1983-1988.

This very brief series consists of clippings, correspondence, auction catalogs, and photographs received from Miss Swanson's daughters after her death, which provide somewhat of a coda to her life. The letters of condolence to Miss Swanson's daughters include one item from then President Ronald Reagan. The auction catalogs detail several sales of furnishings, jewelry, fashions, memorabilia, and other personal effects, 1983-1988. Sale lists, press releases, and clippings document the public interest in these auctions and their financial success.
