Papers, ca. 1890-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/43053655

The Cornelia Catlin Coulter papers consist of correspondence, writings, biographical information, Chamberlain Family Papers, and photographs. Of particular note is correspondence (1908-11 and 1932-60) with her cousins, Shirley Chamberlain and Florence Chamberlain Schneiderwirth, and aunt, Daisy Tompkins Chamberlain. In these letters Coulter discusses her family, mainly her brother Joseph H. Coulter and his children; life as a graduate student at Bryn Mawr College; visits with her cousins; time spent in London, Italy and Germany; and her work at Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke Colleges. Also of particular note are Coulter's published writings (1911-1958) which primarily reflect her scholarship in the classics. The Chamberlain Family Papers series includes letters between sisters Shirley Chamberlain and Florence C. Schneiderwirth, as well as letters written by Chamberlain to Coulter. These letters (1939-60) discuss family news, health problems, and plans for a trip to Europe. The biographical information chiefly consists of articles and sketches concerning Coulter's professional activities and her health from 1940-60. Photographs are formal portraits of Coulter taken ca. 1890-1952; they include a photograph of her with three Mount Holyoke students who participated in a Classics Dept. play in 1952.
