Papers, 1765-1995 (bulk 1950-1993).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145429201

The Richard S. Dunn Papers represent the career and achievement of the distinguished Penn faculty as teacher, author and administrator. The Administrative files series documents his experience as Chairman of the Department of History of the University of Pennsylvania as well as his commitments as a senior faculty member to many committees of the School of Arts and Sciences or of the University. Dunn's teaching experience is well recorded in the Teaching files series. Included in it are all kinds of teaching material, ranging from syllabi, bibliographical data, teaching notes to examination questions, recommendations written for the students, and a bounteous collection of Senior History Honors papers he advised from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. Dunn's teaching at the University of Michigan as a visiting professor, 1969-1970, and his term as Harmsworth Professor of the Queen's College, Oxford University, 1987-1988, are two additional features. The Publications, Presentations, Manuscripts series includes books and articles Dunn has published, papers he presented to various academic institutions and symposiums, and some unpublished manuscripts. The Other Professional Activities files record Dunn's participation in the activities of many academic and professional institutions, among them the American Historical Association, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Institute of Early American History and Culture, and the McNeil Center for Early American Studies. Two more components of the collection deserve a special note. The Glass Slides series consists of over 140 pieces of slides Dunn used as teaching aids to his history courses. The series covers six subjects--early American bank notes (issued between 1775 and 1865), British statesmen and London landscape, American Far West, Italian statesmen, fugitive slaves, and World War I. The William P. Dunn Papers include over six hundred pages of manuscript by Richard S. Dunn's father annotating a selection of works written by the English author and theologian Richard Hook.
