Finding aids provide information about the content of manuscript collections. A finding aid includes descriptive information, including a list of boxes, their contents, and the order the material is arranged. A finding aid also includes information such as name of the respository, the dates of the collection, acquistion information, copyright information, and proper citation style.

Some of our finding aids are available online in PDF form.

Earlham is currently investigating new ways to deliver information about manuscripts collections and other materials so that access to our collections is improved for all types of researchers, including scholars, undergraduates, graduate students, geneaologists, and the entire Earlham community.

Here are links to PDF versions of some of our finding aids from the Friends Manuscript Series. Please note this is a small sampling of recently processed collections. Look for a new way of delivering information about our holdings soon!
