Papers of Jay Norwood "Ding" Darling, 1897- 1920-1962.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/220910265

The Jay N. Darling collection consists of 60 linear feet of material, organized into eleven series. Since this collection is made up of a series of gifts made at different times and arranged according to different schemes, its organization is sometimes complex. Most series and subseries are arranged alphabetically. However, the initial gift was organized chronologically and each item then numbered serially. A name and subject index was prepared with the item number used to indicate the location of the item indexed. This scheme has been retained but has not been continued for later materials, which are organized alphabetically by name of person or organization.
