Papers, 1881-1952 1884-1925.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/39775727

The Elizabeth Tuttle Ferguson Papers contain correspondence, compositions, albums, memorabilia, biographical information and photographs dating from 1881 to 1952. Of particular significance are compositions written 1881-1884 while she was a student at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. Also of note are two photograph albums compiled by Edmund Otis Hovey and an album of postcards. The Hovey albums chiefly contain photographs taken on the islands of St. Vincent and Martinique after the eruption of Mount PeleĢe in 1902 and subsequent volcanic activity in 1903. They also contain four photographs of volcanic activity in Guadeloupe and St. Kitts, five photographs of people and scenery in France, a photograph of a horse-drawn wagon labeled "Russian transportation", and one labeled "King Edward visits Vienna" all dating from 1903. Most of the postcards reflect Ferguson's travels in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Michigan, Indiana, and visits to Niagara Falls and the International Exposition in Chicago in 1934. Her correspondence consists of letters and cards to and from staff members of the Mount Holyoke College Alumnae Association. Rounding out the collection are a graduation pin and fan relating to the Mount Holyoke Class of 1884, biographical forms and clippings, and several photographs of Ferguson taken between 1884 and 1934.
