Gulick papers, 1867-1904.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50654792

The Alice Gordon Gulick papers consist of correspondence, writings, biographical information, memorabilia, and photographs and portraits. The material relates primarily to her work in Spain, both as a missionary and as founder of the International Institute for Girls in Spain (or the Instituto Internacional) in Madrid. Included are nine letters from Gulick to Emily F. Perrin, a friend from Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, which date from 1870-1882. These letters reflect key moments in Gulick's life, including her marriages, the births of her children, and the founding of her school. They also discuss the Gulicks' home in Spain, the poverty surrounding them, and their early work in that country. In one letter she asks Perrin to collect old clothing to send to Spain for the people living near the Gulicks in Santander. The writings 1880-1898 consist predominantly of work published in pamphlets associated with their mission. Written by Gulick or her husband, the Christian-oriented writings address the start of the Spanish-American War (1898), reflect the circumstances and welfare of those around them, and discuss the ordeals faced by a mother in Spain. The biographical information consists primarily of newspaper articles and other writings about Gulick, 1867-1904. Most of the articles pay tribute to her as an educator and mark advancements of the Instituto Internacional in Spain. The photographs and portraits of Gulick are formal poses spanning approximately 1868-1903.
