Papers of Josephine Clara and Pauline Dorothea Goldmark, 1886-1962 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006612

The correspondence, photographs, reports, and clippings in this collection are presumably only a small portion of the documentation of the Goldmark sisters' lives that once existed. The correspondence includes a few letters to Josephine from Florence Kelley and Jane Addams, and typed transcriptions of a series of letters from William James to Pauline showing their close friendship. The bulk of the reports are by Pauline. Printed materials touch upon the sisters' projects and interests; clippings indicate the impact of their published works.
