This collection consists primarily of thirteen diaries, kept by Irma Brown Reeder during the years 1927-1963. The early diaries, before her marriage in 1933, are very detailed and personal; the later ones simply chronicle events. The 1932-1934 diary also includes the 1930-1932 diary kept by Gene Reeder while he was in Russia. In addition, there are a few letters, cards, programs, and clippings.
