MacRae family papers, 1820-2004.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60552155

Correspondence, genealogical information, school and professional materials, travel files, writings, estate materials, clippings, photographs, and other papers. The bulk of the correspondence, 1938-1980, is between the senior MacRaes and Duncan Jr., Edith, and Amy, and is about family and career news, academic interests, world events, and other topics. Genealogical materials include family trees and reflect Duncan Sr.'s steady interest in the MacRae, Shackleford, and related families. Most school materials relate to Duncan Jr.'s early education through his years as an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University. Professional materials are limited to those of Duncan MacRae Sr. and Edith MacRae, and include manuscripts and reprints of scientific journal articles. The travels of Edith and Duncan MacRae Jr. are reflected in itineraries, tickets, photographs, and sometimes journals, including one written on the Ile de France ocean liner during its rescue of the passengers of the sinking Andrea Doria, 1956. Items, including professional materials, pertaining more exclusively to Edith MacRae apart from her relationship to the MacRae family are also present. Many of these materials, particularly correspondence, date from her years as a graduate student at Columbia University, 1940-1946.

About 7000 items (11.0 linear feet).
