The Margaret Currier Papers consist of correspondence, course records, memorabilia, biographical information, and photographs. Most of this collection consists of letters written by Currier to her parents, 1928-1938. The correspondence describes her years as a student at Mount Holyoke College, 1928-1931. It includes detailed descriptions of her course work, teachers, examinations, musical activities, and work in the College library. Correspondence dating from 1931-1934 describes her work in the Yale University Library and her social life in New Haven, Conn. The correspondence also includes information about her graduate studies at the University of Michigan from 1934-1935 and her return to work at the Yale University Library, 1936-1938. Letters written in the summers of 1935 and 1936 describe trips in the United States to Colorado, Maine, and elsewhere. There are a number of references in Currier's letters to the impact of the Depression upon the library profession. Three letters written to Currier from her Mount Holyoke College classmates Florence Feicht Boyer and Shuh-yin Lu Mar are also included in this collection. Boyer discusses her trip to England, Ireland, and Scotland in 1937 while Mar describes her experiences in Hankow, China and Hong Kong at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese Conflict. Also of note in the collection are course records consisting of a paper written for a French class at Mount Holyoke College, 1928, and two general examinations in German from 1931.
