http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84665585

This collection of papers includes research and genealogical notes, photographs of European cities taken during the 1930s, and correspondence. The notes concern many American artists and various New England families. The photographs show public buildings and architectural detail of pre-war Europe. There is also a typescript of part of Charles Willson Peale's diary of 1817 and a rough draft and galleys of a book that Belknap was writing. In addition, the collection contains correspondence of Rey H. Belknap concerning the establishment of a memorial to her son's work. There are also papers that Mrs. Belknap generated in an effort to carry on her son's research. Mrs. Belknap's papers actually constitute almost half of the collection that is attributed to her son.
