Margery Frisbie papers, 1945-1997.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/422624896

This collection consists of 2 boxes, spanning the years 1945-1997, and being predominantly from 1960 to 1990. The collection is divided into two sections: professional and research. The professional records contain copies of two of Margery Frisbie's publications, limited correspondence, and two audiotapes concerning her published work, An Alley in Chicago. The research records pertain almost exclusively to the life of Monsignor John J. Egan, including speeches, interviews, anecdotes about his life from others, and written remembrances of his own history within the ministry. Other records include comprehensive press, and conference notes, from Egan's activities as part of the CCUM and CANA. When correspondence is present, it is predominately between Egan's longtime assistant, Peggy Roach and Margery Frisbie.
