Scope and content
The papers consist of correspondence, diaries, writings, memorabilia and photographs. The papers are divided into two series: Correspondence of Anna Walling - prominent correspondents include Charlotte Perkins Gliman, Emma Goldman, and Selig Perlman, and Correspondence of Others - including correspondence of William English Walling, other family members and Leonard Abbott. The correspondence (1897-1964) which includes family, friends and political associates documents Walling's involvement in political causes. The letters also reveal Anna Walling's feelings on personal matters, social questions and her reactions to meetings with prominent persons both in the United States and abroad.
