Papers, 1860?-1991 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232008121

The collection includes correspondence, photographs, home movies, financial records, menus, and other material that documents the social life, particularly the courting, of an independent, wealthy twentieth-century woman; an upper-class family's European and U.S. travels at the turn of the century; the management of a large household and seaside estate; and Weems's charitable work and donations. There is little material about Weems's mother, Emma (Gildersleeve) Lane, or about Fontaine Carrington Weems; the family papers are mostly those of Weems's father, financier Gardiner Martin Lane.
