Additional Formats
Images from this collection are also available online as part of the Five College Archives Digital Access Project.
History of the Collection
Materials in the Edward and Orra White Hitchcock Papers were given to the College in the early twentieth century by their sons Edward Hitchcock, Jr. (AC 1849) and Charles H. Hitchcock (AC 1856). Additional materials were collected from members of the Hitchcock family and added by Margaret Hitchcock Emerson, their great-granddaughter, during the 1940s.
Processing Information
Since different parts of the Papers were received at various times, there is no evidence of original order. In 1968, the bulk of the Papers was sorted and material in some sections was put in chronological order. In 1996 and 1997, the Papers were reviewed and arranged and described according to current archival standards. The result is more detailed access to information in all parts of the Papers. Where necessary, documentation about previous handling was maintained.
