Divinity School Library to index papers of Foote family

The Andover-Harvard Theological Library of the Divinity School received a $4,000 grant from the Unitarian Universalist Funding Group to index the papers of Professor Henry Wilder Foote (AB 1897, AM 1900, STB 1902) and his family.

The Foote family history has close ties with Unitarianism and with Harvard. In addition to serving as a Unitarian minister, Foote was an assistant professor at the Divinity School and served as secretary for the American Unitarian Association. Foote's father, also a minister, was married to the sister of Harvard President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot.

The majority of the Foote collection depicts the work of prominent religious leaders in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The collection also describes the relationships between academia and clergy. Corespondents in the collection include Mary Moody Emerson (aunt of Ralph Waldo Emerson), Sarah Ripley (wife of the Rev. S. Ripley of Waltham) and Booker T. Washington.
