Papers of a professor of history at the Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee, including correspondence, unpublished manuscripts, and a small quantity of administrative and biographical materials. The papers document Silveus' career at the College from 1937 through 1958, and her interests in the areas of history and social justice. The correspondence comprises the majority of the collection and consists of letters from Silveus' acquaintances, faculty of the College's History Department, and professional associates and organizations. The correspondence also includes letters to Silveus from U.S. servicemen during World War II, many of whom had attended the College before entering the armed services. The collection contains several unpublished manuscripts which document Silveus' historical research interests, including "An American Learns to Enjoy Art" (1958), "Christopher Columbus" (1937), "Foreign Elements in Pennsylvania in the Eighteenth Century" (1926), "National Societies and Conventions in the Years 1850, 1860 and 1870" (1938), and "The Election of 1800 in Pennsylvania" (1926).
