Identifier: Folder 22

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection is comprised of the papers left by Milton Travers upon his death. Divided into 2 series, it includes both personal documents and material relating to his research and writing. Series I contains Travers’ personal papers. Included within this series are five typescript daily diaries that Travers wrote between December 1941 and December 1942. These are very different from the rest of the collection in that they have no relation to his writing or later interests. They focus solely on the events of World War II and daily life in New Bedford, MA during this time. There is a gap of approximately fifteen years between these diaries and the rest of the collection. This series also contains Travers’ correspondence and newspapers clippings of personal interest to him, as well as pamphlets and publications relating to those interests. Series II is comprised of material relating directly to his research and writing. Included are several manuscripts by Travers, one of which appears to be unpublished, as well as a manuscript written and signed by Donald Smith. Also included in this series are his research notes, story ideas, bibliographies and newspaper clippings that Travers used in his books. Finally there are several groups of negatives and prints of Native American subjects, as well as original illustrations and maps used in his books.
