The Ellen Frances Adams Papers consist of correspondence, photographs, and negatives. The letters range from 1911-1937 with particular focus on her years at Mount Holyoke, 1911-1915. The letters during this time are primarily written to Adams by her parents, Charles Darwin Adams and Julia Stevens Adams, including comments on her academic performance, daily life at home, and the weather along with academic advice from her father. Later letters, primarily written to her father, describe Adams' experiences while a librarian at Dartmouth College. The photographs and negatives include pictures of Adams and her friends and relatives as well as scenes of Mount Holyoke.
