Collections

The records consist of landscape plans by Frederick A. Davis documenting the building at 254 York Street, New Haven, Connecticut, which was originally built to house the offices of "The Yale Record," an undergraduate publication, and was acquired by Yale in 1945.

The papers include correspondence, teaching materials, and writings that document Frederick Pottle's scholarly interest in English literature, primarily the work of James Boswell. The papers also reflect Pottle's involvement in the affairs of the Yale English Department, Colby College, and the Episcopal Church.

The collection comprises four graphite-on-tracing paper sketches by Paul Rudolph of the fenestration of the Yale Art and Architecture Building. The drawings are significant in that they demonstrate how Rudolph would have originally subdivided the large glass in the building's windows.

The bulk of the material is from the 1960s and early 1970s, and includes correspondence, departmental and organizational files, research files, and publications. There is little mention of Barghoorn's arrest by the Soviet government in 1963, except for a brief summary of the incident in a letter to Pat Briggs dated November 10, 1965.

The materials consist of photographs documenting Frederick Dwight's (Yale 1894) student life at Yale.

A three-volume collection of anecdotes illustrative of American manners and morals in the 1920s and 1930s. Included also are anecdotes about the Yale College classmates (Class of 1894) of Frederick Dwight.

Letter from Frederick E. Haight to his mother, Anne Lyon Haight on St. Anthony Club stationery postmarked New York July 13, 1940.

The materials consist of photographic prints from the scrapbook of Frederick Ely Williamson, Yale College Class of 1898. Includes images of individual students, student rooms and Yale buildings.

Collected by Frederick Fleischer, this collection of bills and receipts reflect the variety of Bridgeport businesses as the 19th Century became the 20th. Looking at the various purchases helps to shed light on the shopping habits of the time period.
