Records, 1901-1992, bulk dates 1909-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84666673

The records of the Walpole Society--actually, its archives and modest library--date from 1909 to 1992. The bulk of the records cover the years 1909 to 1960. Included are manuscript and printed records of and photographs taken at meetings, nominations for membership, correspondence between the secretary and members of the society, materials relating to Walpole Society publications, and some financial data. Because he was secretary for so long, 1939-1962, most of the letters in the archive came from the office of Chauncey C. Nash, a stockbroker and collector of American furniture. Other secretaries who served from 1909 to 1960 were Henry Watson Kent (1910-1911, 1915-1923), Dwight Blaney (1911-1912), George Parker Winship (1912-1915), and Philip L. Spalding, (1923-1938).
