Description
Summary:The Mitchell Papers contain correspondence, printed materials, and photographs, the majority of which is correspondence that includes carbon copies of Mitchell's replies to correspondents as well as drafts of articles, speeches, meeting minutes, financial reports, and convention resolutions. A significant portion of the papers were microfilmed in 1974 and organized into five series: Correspondence, 1885-1919; United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) Minutes, Proceedings, Constitutions, and Reports, 1891-1908; Miscellaneous Minutes, Proceedings, and Reports, 1914-1919; Printed Matter, 1888-1912; and Photographs, 1896-1924. Recent processing efforts have resulted in revised dates, listed below, for most of these series. Also, the remaining part of the collection not microfilmed has since been largely organized into a sixth series titled Miscellaneous and Unprocessed, 1884-1924, and undated. The microfilm edition of the Mitchell papers is available in many libraries and the Guide to the Microfilm Edition (1974), edited by John A. Turcheneske, and is especially valuable in its content listing of the microfilm reels. Staff at the American Catholic History Research Center and University Archives of The Catholic University of America (CUA) prepared a corresponding box list, with both listings incorporated below. This finding aid is presented not as a finished product but as an effort to make the collection more accessible even though a complete folder listing is not yet available.
