acquisitions: The papers were a bequest of Elizabeth Downe Norris and came to the Sophia Smith Collection via Norris's niece and executor, Margery Brady in 2004.
scopecontent: Scope and Contents of the Collection The Elizabeth Downe Norris Papers consist of 2.25 linear ft. of biographical and family history information, photographs, writings, and samples from her collections of memorabilia with associated reference files. The bulk of the papers is photographs and materials related to Norris' memorabilia collections. This collection is organized into four series: I. BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS AND CORRESPONDENCE contains general biographical information and memorabilia related to Elizabeth Norris, her husband, Roy Edwin Norris, and their son, Donald Edwin Norris. There is also a small genealogical research file and a small amount of correspondence. II. PHOTOGRAPHS contains photographic prints and a few negatives. They are primarily family group and individual photographs, which document Downe family life in the 1910s and 20s, and the early years of Norris's marriage. Many of the photographs were assembled for Norris's self published family history "The Downe Family: Reflections on Three Generations, 1829-1935." III. WRITINGS contains a variety of published and unpublished short pieces which give a good sense of Norris' talents as a writer. Subjects are primarily Downe family history, the YWCA, and memorabilia and collecting. IV. MEMORABILIA COLLECTIONS contains reference materials and selections from Norris's decades of collecting memorabilia. Included are advertising, buttons, cloth patches, a few fabric items, pencils, photographs, pins, postcards, stamps and stickers. Norris's main collecting interests were sewing and needlework, women, and political movements associated with women, such as Temperance and Suffrage. The reference files consist of clippings from major newspapers and magazines and from collectors' publications from the 1970s-90s. Though Norris sold much of her memorabilia collection beginning in 2000, a sampling of the types of items that interested her remains. They are arranged by subject or type of item.
access restrictions: The papers are open to research according to the regulations of the Sophia Smith Collection without any additional restrictions.
use restrictions: Copyright to Norris's unpublished works belongs to her heirs. The Sophia Smith Collection can provide for contact information on request. Permission must be obtained to publish reproductions or quotations beyond "fair use." Copyright to materials authored by persons other than Elizabeth Norris may be owned by those individuals or their heirs or assigns. It is the responsibility of the researcher to identify and satisfy the holders of all copyrights.
related material: Related materials, including portions of Norris's collection of YWCA postcards, can be found in the YWCA of the U.S.A. Records. Additional materials are in the Smith College Archives.

body: Biographical Note Elizabeth Downe was born on April 25, 1914 in White Plains, New York, to Albro Farwell and Alice Morse Downe. The family lived in White Plains, New York; Gardner, Massachusetts; and New Haven, Connecticut, where her father worked as a salesman for the American Radiator Company. After graduation from New Haven High School, Downe attended Smith College where she majored in English and religious studies. After earning her A.B. in 1936, Downe returned home and enrolled in Yale Divinity School. Though financial problems delayed completion of the degree, she received a B.D. in religious education in 1939. (YDS would not award masters degrees to women at that time.) Interested in a career in "religious direction and education," during her Yale years Downe served as Director of the Daily Vacation Bible Schools run by the New Hampshire Council of Congregational Churches in the summer of 1937, and as assistant to the Girl Reserve Secretary of the New Haven YWCA (October 1938-June 1939). After finishing at Yale, she attended the YWCA's intensive one month Training Institute for Professional Workers at Oberlin College in the summer of 1939. In September of that year Downe took a job as Teen-age Director at the YWCA in Passaic, New Jersey. She returned to the New Haven YWCA in November 1940 as Assistant Residence Director. In August 1942 she married Roy Edwin Norris and the couple moved to Brooklyn, New York. Roy Norris was then a student at Columbia University and Elizabeth started work as a teller in the Brooklyn Trust Company in December 1942. Unhappy with the work, ("[I] have not found it at all stimulating"), she attempted to find jobs in "social group work" and ended up resigning from the bank in July of 1944. Elizabeth gave birth to her only child, a son, Donald Edwin Norris, on December 30, 1944. When she was ready to return to work, she found that her chosen profession required irregular hours, including "a great deal of evening work" that would "now b…
