scopecontent: Scope and Contents of the Collection The Elizabeth Eudora Tuttle Ferguson Papers consist of correspondence, compositions, photo and post card albums, memorabilia, newspaper clippings and photographs. The collection documents the academic work produced by Ferguson in a first-year English course and her travels in the Caribbean and to a lesser extent France, Austria and Russia. Of particular note are two photograph albums compiled by Edmund Otis Hovey and an album of postcards. The Hovey albums chiefly contain photographs taken on the islands of St. Vincent and Martinique after the eruption of Mount Pelee in 1902 and subsequent volcanic activity in 1903. They also contain four photographs of volcanic activity in Guadeloupe and St. Kitts, five photographs of people and scenery in France, a photograph labeled "Russian transportation" (horse-drawn wagon), and one labeled "King Edward visits Vienna," all dating from 1903. Also included in the collection are an album of post cards that reflect Ferguson's travels in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Michigan, Indiana, and visits to Niagara Falls and the International Exposition in Chicago in 1934. The correspondence consists primarily of letters and cards to and from staff members of the Mount Holyoke College Alumnae Association. The collection also includes some clippings about Ferguson, and several photographs of her taken between 1884 and 1934.
