Series 5: Boorman Donation

 Series

Scope and Contents

In 1989 Mrs. Patricia Boorman, daughter of Dr. Fielding Garrison, gave to the library her collection of her father's material. This material consists of one volume of letters to Garrison, a volume of collected reprints, and some correspondence from his tenure at the Welch Library. Mrs. Boorman also loaned to the library a family record book first begun by Garrison's father, a copy of which was made with her permission and has been added to the collection.... The volume of correspondence was disbound to better protect it but left in the order it was received, and is indexed at the end of this finding guide. Publications were added to the Garrison reprint collection in the library's printed collections. The remaining material (menus, typescript manuscripts, and reviews by and of Garrison) were added to the manuscript collection.
