Mary Grace Canfield papers, 1888-1937.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36056782

The Mary Grace Canfield Papers are the notes, published articles, and correspondence generated during research for her book Lafayette in Vermont, describing the Marquis de Lafayette's 1825 visit to Vermont. There is also correspondence, 1931-1937, concerning the book's publication in 1934 including critiques, reviews, and orders. Canfield created a scrapbook ca. 1934 with newspaper clippings about Lafayette written on the 100th anniversary of his death, and photographs and postcards showing places he visited in June 1825. A second scrapbook is made up of some of Canfield's research correspondence, 1933-1934. The remaining portion of the collection is related to the equal suffrage movement. As an early advocate of woman's suffrage Canfield collected publications on the topic and compiled a scrapbook of Vermont activities. The scrapbook includes photographs and postcards of the national movement and some of her essays. There is also a series of newspaper clippings and images posted on cardboard, presumably part of a scrapbook or exhibition on the suffrage movement. One sheet has seven photographs taken at a state fair showing activity around the Vermont and New Hampshire suffrage tent. A noteworthy item is a letter written in 1904 by Susan B. Anthony to Canfield's mother-in-law, Mrs. Lepha J. Canfield. In the letter Anthony describes some of the early suffrage conventions and her involvement in the movement.
