Finding Aid Title: Wilbur Fisk Sanders papers, 1883-1907
Finding Aid Collection Number: 2523
Date Range of Collection: 1883-1907
Creator of Materials: Sanders, Wilbur Fisk, 1834-1905
Content Description: The Wilbur F. Sanders papers consist of letters and cards received by him in response to an invitation for the silver wedding anniversary celebration of Harriet and Wilbur Sanders on October 27, 1883. Respondents include James Fergus, William A. Clark, Benjamin F. Potts, and Davis Willson. The letters and cards had been mounted on highly acidic black paper with corresponding typed transcriptions placed in proximity to the originals, but they have been removed from these mountings due to preservation concerns. As a result, the response letters and cards have been placed in odd numbered folders 1-13 and even numbered folders contain the transcriptions found in the preceding folder. The collection also includes a scrapbook of mounted newspaper clippings pertaining to the anniversary observance, Sanders' political activities, and obituaries of Sanders and members of his extended family. Five photographs of Wilbur F. Sanders, Louis P. Sanders and Sidney Edgerton complete this collection.
