Harvard Divinity School Faculty Writings Files, 1817-1997
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of writings by and about more than 100 Harvard Divinity School faculty members. These writings were previously maintained as a vertical file and were cataloged under the call number H.D.S. V.F. The writings here were not systematically collected, and the collection is not comprehensive. They are arranged alphabetically according to the last name of each faculty member. Some faculty members have several boxes of material, while others have only a single file. Materials include biographical information, offprints of journal articles, news clippings, bibliographies, curricula vitae, copies of lectures, retirement notices, book reviews, and memorial service programs.
