The John H.

The majority of the collection is made up of research materials and article drafts filed by research pursuit or area of interest. There is also a small number of photographs, clippings, and obituaries.
The collection was donated by Theresa Williamson in 2024. The accession number associated with this donation is ML-2024-005.
For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
The collection was processed by Will Clements in 2025. Materials were rehoused into acid free folders but otherwise no physical arrangement was done at this time.
No materials were separated from the collection during 2025 processing.
