Charlotte E. Field donated part of this collection to then Loyola University in 1938. Accession number: 1995.12
The autographs were mounted in archival-quality albums at unknown date, perhaps in 1995, when the current accession number
was assigned to this collection. Mario A. Gallardo created the box and folder list for the collection in June 2015 and then
encoded it in EAD in July that same year for inclusion in the Online Archive of California.
This collection consists of autographs of ecclesiastical figures, presidents, entertainers, and other personages, from the
late sixteenth century to the mid twentieth century. An autograph collection that Charlotte E. Field assembled and other
collections of unknown provenance were combined to create this artificial collection, perhaps in 1995, the year the accession
number was assigned to the collection.
Names of note are many and range from Harry S. Truman, to Catherine II, to Lucille Ball, to Pope Pius X.
Numbers in parentheses besides a name indicates that there are two copies of that person's signature.
Box 1 contains autographs of United States politicians, especially presidents. Box 2 contains ecclesiastical figures, including
popes; Box 3, entertainers; and Box 4, foreign rulers.
