E. Merton Coulter personal papers

Creator: |
Coulter, E. Merton (Ellis Merton), 1890-1981 |
|
| |
Dates: |
1898-1981 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of personal papers of E. Merton Coulter from 1898-1981. The papers include correspondence, clippings,
diaries, financial records (1920-1977), lecture notes, student papers, grade books (1914-1958), and writings of others, as
well as printed material, photographs, and slides pertaining to Georgia or Coulter's travels abroad. The correspondence (1898-1981)
includes carbons (1946-1979) of Coulter's outgoing letters and incoming correspondence to Coulter from scholars, publishers,
and former students. The correspondence reflects Coulter's activities at the University of Georgia (1919-1958); the publication
of his books and articles; his activities with the American Historical Association, the Southern Historical Association, and
the Georgia Civil War Centennial Commission; and his association with various historians. The most extensive group of correspondence
(1929-1965) is with Roland M. Harper of the University of Alabama.
The diaries (1910-1981, with gaps) contain often lengthy but sporadic entries describing Coulter's travels, his writings,
his opinion of Georgia politics, and his daily activities. After 1952, the entries become very brief and focus on his daily
activities.
