Oscar and Ruth Hunt Van Valkenburgh Papers 1887-1966.

The Van Valkenburgh Papers include dance cards, photographs, financial documents, printed material, and various Syracuse University-related materials. Making up a good portion of the collection are the dance cards, spanning from 1908 to 1917, from the Syracuse University Senior Balls and other University-related dances, fraternity and sorority dances, and those of non-University organizations, such as the Nurses' Home of the Syracuse Homeopathic Hospital. The photographs, portraits and postcards feature Syracuse University and images of individuals. Included in the Syracuse University photographs are those of campus including the Archbold Stadium grandstand, students in front of Sims Hall, the University crew and basketball teams, and Oscar Van Valkenburgh in his room while at SU. University publications, memorabilia, financial documents, clubs and societies' documents, including sororities and fraternities, are also all included in the collection.
