http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/174970654

Much of this collection was gathered by nephew Msgr. Matthew Howard for possible use in a biography, which explains why there are items dated after Bishop Howard's death in 1944. Papers include fairly extensive correspondence files, running from 1898 to 1944, representing the spectrum of the American Catholic hierarchy as well as lay and secular figures; National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) reports; miscellaneous 3 x 5 note cards; financial records including expense books; a broad grouping of newspaper clippings, from both Catholic and secular press; numerous publications ranging from scandalous books such as Margaret Shepherd⁰́₉s My Life In A Convent to the NCEA Bulletin; photographs of churches and seminaries, important meetings, and portraits of Howard and others; plus various holy cards.
