Clara Driscoll/Wolcott Family Papers
Comprised of round-robin-style letters from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Wolcott Family Papers provide a glimpse into the lives, jobs and thoughts of women during the period. Particularly of note are the letters written by Clara Driscoll (whose maiden name was Wolcott), which often detail her job working as a "Tiffany Girl" for Louis Tiffany, designing many of his famous glass lamps. |

As a sample, feel free to peruse this extensive round-robin-style letter dating from December 27, 1898.
