Papers, 1857-1948 (bulk 1880-1898).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47883890

The Mary Sheldon Barnes Papers consist of correspondence, creative and professional writings, artwork, juvenilia, line-a-day diaries, notes, teaching materials, memorabilia, scrapbooks, and photographs. The bulk of the material dates from 1880 to 1898 and is rich in personal and professional correspondence which, along with her journals provide insight into the coming of age and later professional academic life of a woman historian of the late 19th century. They also are a valuable source of information on the development of historiography. Personal correspondence includes travel descriptions, courtship letters and intimate letters between Mary Barnes and her friend Mary Alling which provide a valuable insight into female friendships of that period. Other correspondents include academics and fellow historians of the period such as Katherine Lee Bates, George Lincoln Burr, Henry Bernard Carpenter, Martin Luther Maynard Salmon, Calvin Thomas, Moses Coit Tylor, and Andrew Dickson White.
