Kenneth Davison Papers
Collection
Identifier: MS-0162
Collection Organization
This collection is comprised of Kenneth Davison's papers relating to his time as an officer of both the national and Ohio-Indiana American Studies Associations. Dr. Davison served as treasurer of both organizations, so much of the collection relates to the financial health of the organization at the time. However, business meeting minutes, conference proceedings and materials, and other materials related to the history of both organizations are included as well.
The collection encompasses the years 1956-1981, with the bulk dating from 1956-1977.
This collection will be of interest to those interested in the evolving field of American Studies, especially as it relates to important professional organizations in the field.
The collection is currently organized as it was received.
