http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37040858

Mainly papers of Thomas Nelson Page, most well-known as a Southern writer of short stories, novels, and poems romanticizing the antebellum South. His papers refer to all aspects of his life, but primarily concern his writing and lecturing. Also, include correspondence of Thomas Nelson Page's mother, Elizabeth Burwell (Nelson) Page, writing about family and friends and her farm and home, "Oakland," Hanover co., Va.; and Rosewell Page, one of Elizabeth's sons who lived close to or at home most of his life and oversaw the management of "Oakland" and other Hanover farms owned by the Page family, followed several professions, was a biographer of his brother Tom, and was heavily involved in the lay ministry of the Episcopal Church in Virginia. There are two diaries of note, including one of Elizabeth Burwell (Nelson) Page, concerning the daily life of her family at "Oakland" during 1905, and one of her brother, Robert Nelson of Shanghai, China, and Woodbury, Conn., concerning a children's school he ran in Shanghai and later, his Episcopal ministry in Woodbury.
