This thesis is intended to call attention to the more distinctive features of the Maltwood Archival Collection which is held in the Special Collections Division of the McPherson Library. Its purpose is also to supply a convenient description of each item and to indicate where it may be found. The material required extensive sorting and in arranging it, advantage has been taken to compile a comprehensive finding aid. Included is a brief biography of Katharine Maltwood and a critical analysis of the Archive with guidelines for further research. Preparation of the latter involved research and information gained outside the Archival Collection and it is hoped this may prove of additional value to those studying the Maltwood papers. / Graduate
