Charlotte E. Field donated part of this collection to then Loyola University in 1938. Accession number: 1995.12

Processing Information

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.

Collection Description

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.

Arrangement

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.
