http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61834368

The Carson-Randolph Family Papers include genealogical information spanning up to ten generations. The majority of the material relates to Hope, Evan, their children, and Hope's parents, Hampton L. Carson and Anna Lea (Baker) Carson. By and large, the papers pertaining to male members of the family emphasize their professional careers, while papers pertaining to women are of a more personal nature. It is an eclectic collection, comprised not only of papers and photographs, but also of family memorabilia and incidental information about progenitors and distant relatives. A portion of the papers pertain to the related families of Baker, Becker, Hollingsworth, Humphreys, Jenks, Lea, Robeson, Stewardson, and Story.
