Papers relating to O'Conor and members of his family, 1833-1933 (bulk 1862-1920). There is an 1833 poem addressed to the infant William Jephson Taylor, and an 1855 album of his. Material relating to O'Conor includes passports, account books for the period 1867-1893, a small book of manuscript music dated 1865, an algebra notebook dated 1862, an undated notebook on Bible study, a book of notes on lectures given at Columbia by Francis Lieber, a copy of the will of Robert S. Buchanan, dated 1857, a roll of Republican voters in the 6th election district of the 11th Assembly district, 1894, and other material related to O'Conor's activities in the Republican party, and correspondence. There is a group of letters written in 1881 by his future wife, Maria Jephson Post, discussing their wedding plans and their future life together. Another group of letters, mostly in French, relates to charitable work in France during World War I; many are written by Alice Bordes, and relate to the work of the military hospital at Figeac, with some accompanying photographs. Several postcards printed by the Tobacco Fund are notes of thanks from British forces for gifts of tobacco. A group of papers relates a course in navigation given at Columbia in the summer session of 1918. There is also some material related to the Harvard grades and Harvard lodgings of Norreys Jephson O'Conor.
