	Title:	Miscellaneous Manuscripts Collection, 1668-1983
	Dates:	Bulk, 1750-1850
	Abstract:	J. Stephen Catlett wrote of the Miscellaneous Manuscripts collection that “there is no other way to describe these manuscript letters, essays, and other papers that are contained presently in 49 boxes.” Catlett then listed a random assortment of names of authors found in the collection. Each individual item was catalogued in the card catalogue, but his data has now been put online. Rather than try to replicate that data, this entry will focus on some of the main themes of the collection and some of the most notable documents. View finding aid for a full description
