Papers of Frank Carney, 1877-1948.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76972772

The majority of the collection concerns his activities outside of work. Photographs from the late 1890s illustrate social life and costume of the period. Harvard-related materials are limited and include a small amount of correspondence and assorted other items relating to Harvard University and the College Library. His travels, particularly with the Appalacian Mountain Club, are well-documented in the collection. There is a sound recording which presumably contains a speech given by Carney, but it has not been played to ascertain the nature of the talk.
