| | | Dates: | 1668-1983 | | | Abstract: | J. Stephen Catlett wrote of the Miscellaneous Manuscripts collection that "there is no other way to describe these manuscript letters, essays, and other papers that are contained presently in 49 boxes."

Rather than try to replicate that data, this entry will focus on some of the main themes of the collection and some of the most notable documents.
