Abstract
The Clarence G. Campbell Collection documents the career of Clarence G. Campbell, noted eugenicist and first president of the Eugenics Research Association. The collection consists of typescripts or reprints of articles, news clippings, ephemera, and letters.
Arrangement
The finding aid for this collection has been intellectually arranged into four series: reprints, manuscripts, correspondence, and ephemera. The ephemera series also contains published journals. The items are listed within the series in date order.
The finding aid does not represent the physical arrangement of the collection. During the acquisition process, the donor stated that this collection has not been touched since C. G. Campbell’s death and that the files are all considered to be in original order. After processing the collection, there does not appear to be an established coherent original order (i.e. not organized by date, subject, author, etc.). Therefore, the finding aid has been composed to impart intellectual order; but the physical material remains in C.G. Cambell's original arrangement.
The collection is arranged among 3 boxes and 11 folders.
Provenance
The Clarence G. Campbell Collection was donated by Clarence Michalis (grandson of Clarence G. Campbell) in 2009 via Philip Reilly.
