Scope and Contents
Series I, BIOGRAPHICAL AND PERSONAL, 1931-2013 (#1.1-6.3, E.1-E.3, F+D.1-F+D.2), contains primarily papers related to Farians education; biographical statements and resumes; and materials, including speech transcripts related to Farians' and her mother's memorial services. Folders identified as doctoral work contain research materials, notes, clippings, tests or worksheets, and handouts. Some of these folders, which were all originally stored together, may possibly relate to Farians' general research or her teaching during and post-doctorate. There is a small amount of correspondence with family and friends, primarily regarding her activist work. Also included is Farians' web site, captured as part of Harvard University Library's Web Archive Collection, containing biographical information. See also #23.9 and #34.12 for additional biographical information and #CD-88.2 for audio of Farians' memorial service. This series is arranged alphabetically.
