http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83771586

The collection begins with a series of family photographs followed by series of correspondence and other papers for Gertrude Sunderland Safford, Homer Erwin Safford, Homer's sister, Ada Murray Safford, and Mildred Hortense Safford and Helen Safford Toohy, daughters of Gertrude and Homer Safford. In addition to extensive family correspondence and travel diaries, the Gertrude Sunderland Safford series contains records of Sunderland Safford's involvement with women's clubs, the League of Women Voters, and the Merrill-Parker School. The Homer Erwin Safford series includes diaries, correspondence, and clippings documenting his medical career as a general practitioner in the 1900s, his work on efforts to build a new hospital in Detroit before World War I, his service in the Army Medical Corps during the War, and his later work as a psychiatric consultant for the Highland Park school system, the Children's Aid Society and various juvenile court systems; also the letters of Winfield S. Safford while serving with the 24th Michigan Infantry during the Civil War. The Ada Murray Safford series revolves around her significant interest in family history. The Mildred Hortense Safford series is strong on family correspondence, especially for 1918-1925; it also documents her career at the Detroit Children's Museum and her involvement with the Detroit Women's City Club. The Helen Safford Toohy series contains extensive family correspondence, focusing on her years during and immediately following college; it also includes personal diaries.
