The George L. Streeter Collection consists primarily of family correspondence and travel scrapbooks. The family letters begin when George Streeter was an undergraduate in 1895, and extend through to Streeter's retirement in 1940. The letters, many of them to his wife Julia Allen Streeter, are filled with news, anecdotes, and numerous pen & ink sketches. Copies of the letters have been transcribed. The letters offer a glimpse of his career in medicine and investigative embryology. The collection also contains travel scrapbooks and journals. The first book, from 1902-03, is filled primarily with postcards, printed ephemera, and several photographs of Streeter and others. The travel scrapbook and diary of 1928 document a trip through Ireland and the United Kingdom, where he traveled to receive an honorary degree from the University of Dublin, Trinity College. The collection also contains notebooks and reprints.
