This collection centers on original documents and annotated transcriptions of letters written between members of the Huntington family, especially letters between Elizabeth Huntington and her eleven children.
The Porter-Phelps-Huntington Family Papers as a whole comprise almost a hundred linear feet of materials, stretching from the late seventeenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. The collection is held at the University of Massachusetts Special Collections and University Archives, is documented by a finding aid, and is available for research.
