Florence Billings Papers, 1915-1959 (bulk 1919-1928)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76753424

The Florence Billings Papers include correspondence, journal entries, reports for Near East Relief, travel notes, typescripts of articles and her thesis, clippings, photographs, and memorabilia. There is a small amount on her relief work in World War I France and her travels in Europe, but the collection focus is on the work of Florence Billings and her colleague Annie T. Allen with the Near East Relief in Turkey and Greece from 1920-22 and Billings' subsequent travels in, and writings about, the Middle East. Correspondents include Turkish feminist Halidé Edib, and the American High Commissioner in Constantinople, Mark Bristol. A larger number of photographs include portraits and group shots of Turkish leaders and officials such as Mustafa Kemal, Halidé Edib, Refet Pasha, Prime Minister Fethy Bey; many ordinary people; and scenes of the Turkish country side.
