Series I: Research and reference files, 1789-2023

 Series
This series houses research and reference files created and maintained by Williams. Materials include original or photocopied articles, advertisements, book chapters, and other publications; company trade sheets or catalog pages; notes recorded during research visits to libraries, archives, and museums; genealogical information; correspondence (both traditional and electronic), letters, memos, and greeting cards; transcriptions of oral history interviews; photographs; printouts of websites; and other documentation. File folders were originally labeled by Williams with last names of individuals or company names (and occasionally divided into specific topics) and filed in alphabetical order. Much of Williams’ original order is retained here, with further descriptions of individual names, folder contents, and date ranges indicated in the folder title.
