http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/163571183

The Gibbons papers contains mainly printed matter, including pastoral letters from Gibbons, Pontifical letters to him from Leo XIII, Pius X, and Benedict XV concerning Catholic University, press clippings, and invitations, and a book. Also included are personal and official correspondence, as well as photographs. Many items concern jubilees celebrated by him; of particular note, a limited edition book produced to commemorate the 1911 Baltimore rally held on the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood and the twenty-fifth anniversary of his elevation to the cardinalate. Also of interest are memorial tributes to Gibbons from Thomas J. Shahan, CUA rector, published in pamphlet form. Post-1921 items reflect planned memorials to him.
