Papers, 1815-1961 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006602

This collection contains genealogies, diaries, correspondence, financial records, pamphlets, clippings, speeches, photographs, and memorabilia, and was used by Ida H. Harper in preparing her biography of Anthony. The papers provide information about Anthony's schooling and employment, her relationships with her family, particularly her father and two of her nieces, and her work for the abolition of slavery, for temperance, and for women's rights. There is, however, very little correspondence from the period 1851-1880. This collection does not represent the total surviving Anthony papers. Other collections are listed at the end of the Anthony article in Notable American Women.
