- Scope and Contents
The collection consists of manuscripts, correspondence, documents, photographs, scrapbooks, and miscellaneous research material of Thomas. Included are manuscripts, research material, and related correspondence for several of his publications: Bibliography of John Dewey (1929), John Dewey: A Centennial Bibliography (1962), Elias Boudinot's Journey to Boston in 1809 (1955), The Diary of George Templeton Strong, 1835-1875 (1952), and The Diary of Samuel Sewall, 1674-1729 (1973). There are manuscripts of articles about varius aspects of Columbia University history, genealogical material about John Jay, and research and collected original manuscript material regarding 19th-century American students in Göttingen, Germany, and the American scientist Amos Eaton.
Thomas's correspondence reflects the myriad interests of scholars and researchers he aided in his role as archivist as well as his own bibliographical interests. In addition, the collection contains personal and family photographs and documents, early scrapbooks, and a small collection of 18th-century autograph material collected by Thomas.
