Clermont H. Lee Papers
Finding Aid
 

These files were arranged and organized by Ms. Lee before she gave them to Special Collections. Her arrangement of the materials is undisturbed. Detailed notes containing background and content information on the papers in the folder were prepared by Ms. Lee for the first eight folders. The originals and typed transcripts of these notes are in the front of each individual folder, and copies of the transcripts are attached to this inventory.
