Josephine Bowen Holman. Diary
Manuscripts
The collection, which is housed in two boxes, is arranged in the following manner: first three authors are arranged by number of letters in the collection (Guglielmo Marconi, R. Norman Vyvyan and Annie Jameson Marconi, in that order), and the rest are arranged alphabetically by other authors. This collection consists of letters and telegrams from Guglielmo Marconi to his fiancé, Josephine Bowen Holman. There are also letters to Holman from Marconi's mother, Annie Jameson Marconi, one of his engineers, R. Norman Vyvyan, and various other correspondents (mainly family members). Portions of some of the letters to Holman from Marconi are written in Morse code, and there are pictures of his telegraph towers in Cornwall and two of his family home in Bologna. There are two manuscripts: Morse Code Legend written by Marconi and Holman's diary for January to April 1902. There are 6 pieces of ephemera, including two published copies of a paper by Marconi on the wireless telegraphy that he gave March 2, 1899 to the Institution of Electrical Engineers, and 141 newspaper clippings. Subjects include: Marconi and Holman's relationship, Nikola Tesla, Alexander Graham Bell, Morse Code, and Marconi's invention: the wireless telegraph.
