Personal papers of three Amherst College alumni, the Rev. Albert H. Ball (AC 1866) and his two sons Allan (AC 1892) and Walter (AC 1897). The collection includes alumni notes, notebooks, manuscript writings, and printed matter. Reverend Albert Ball's materials consist of chronicles of his alumni class of 1866 and a commonplace book; Allan and Walter Ball's papers chiefly document their professional lives, as classical teacher/scholar and fiction writer, respectively.

This collection is organized into three series:

• 1. REV. ALBERT HORTON BALL (AC 1866) PAPERS
• 2. ALLAN PERLEY BALL (AC 1892) PAPERS
• 3. WALTER SAVAGE BALL (AC 1897) PAPERS
