Arthur D. Spearman, S. J., Autograph Collection

Collection 009
Arthur D. Spearman, S.J., Autograph Collection (1925-1947)

 

The Arthur D. Spearman, S. J.(1899-1977) Autograph Collection (1925-1947) consists of 1 box (.2 linear feet). The source of the collection is uncertain, but it was probably left at Loyola as part of Spearman's administrative records after his term as a Loyola University librarian from 1937-1948.

 

There are two series in the collection: Series 1: letters and Series 2: illustrations.


Series 1: letters
Unless otherwise noted, the following are letters to Father Spearman.
