The Teresina Rowell Havens Papers consist of 3 1/3 linear feet of correspondence, photographs, diaries, writings, memorabilia, printed material, and one audiotape. They date from 1891 to 1994 with the bulk of the material beginning in the 1930s.

Included with these papers are travel diaries, a small amount of correspondence, and writings of her mother, Teresina Peck Rowell. The Teresina Rowell Havens Papers provide an excellent insight into one women's spiritual development as well as some of the experimental teaching methods of the 1970s. Teresina's life was intentionally unconventional and her papers reflect an alternative lifestyle spanning 50 years.

• I. Biographical Material, Memorabilia, and Photographs
