http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45657489

The collection consists of numerous papers, mementos, and correspondence pertaining to Thomas S. Bell. Among these, and perhaps of greatest value to researchers, are three notebooks containing notes of Bell's travels in Europe and elsewhere. Of particular interest is Bell's travel journal from March to September 1939, reflecting his travels to Europe. Other notebooks document trips through the continental United States, Alaska, and a 1953 trip to Europe. Notebooks filled with class notes from Oxford are also present, as is a scrapbook containing mementos such as business cards (Bell's own as well as others), brochures and programs of events attended, clippings, poems, origami, obituaries, postcards and bookmarks. Clippings regarding Bell's wedding are contained in box 2, as are numerous pieces of correspondence and miscellaneous items such as a golf score card.
