Earl F. Nation Collection
Manuscripts
The correspondence between Sir and Lady William Osler to Charles Nicoll Bancker Camac forms the bulk of the Earl Nation Collection. Other correspondents include John M. Connor, librarian for the Los Angeles County Medical Association, Clifford Pilz and William Bennett Bean. For the most part, these letters are arranged chronologically and then according to author. The one exception is Clifford Pilz's letter in Folder 3 explaining and enclosing copies of the letters from William Henry Welch to C.N.B. Camac; the letters in this folder are arranged as found in the original collection. The Osler and Camac reproductions span the years 1896-1926, while Earl Nation's later correspondence about the collection covers the years 1960 to 1980. Included are two folders of ephemera, mainly photographic copies of the Osler correspondence. In addition, these folders contain photographs of Sir William Osler and envelopes linking the photos to Earl F. Nation.

Mulders, Gerald F. (National Science Foundation (U.S.))
Manuscripts
The collection deals primarily with the professional activities of Olin C. Wilson, who was most active from the mid-1930s into the 1980s. Wilson corresponded frequently with astronomers from a variety of universities in the United States and abroad, and the collection is representative of the deeply international and collaborative nature of astronomical and astrophysical research in the second half of the twentieth century. It also contains valuable and insightful material related to the schism between Mount Wilson and CalTech in the 1970s and 1980s, and the near-demise of Mount Wilson during that decade.

Sagebrush Press. 1 letter (1970, Jan. 10) to Earl F. Nation, 1910-
Manuscripts
The papers include 43 pieces of correspondence and ten pieces of ephemera. The majority of the correspondence is written by Elza Ivan Edwards and is personal in nature; however, several of the letters discuss in detail the activities and publications of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Corrals of the Westerners and the Death Valley '49ers. The letters also discuss Edwards' various books on Death Valley as well as the publications of George Koenig, Anthony Kroll, and Earl F. Nation (fellow writers and the addressees of Edwards' letters). One letter by Edwards recounts a hiking trip in Nevada and provides a good description of the area around Dayton, Nevada as well as the ghost towns Delamar and Genoa. The ephemera includes biographical information about Edwards and newspaper clippings.
