| Summary: | The John A. Ryan Papers contain 42 linear feet and span from 1892 to 1945. The papers focus heavily on the last twenty years of his life, 1925 to 1945. There is very little material from prior to 1925. The most significant pre-1925 source in this collection is a thin but rich personal journal where Ryan recorded thoughts from 1892-1898. Some Ryan related pre-1925 material can be found in the National Catholic Welfare Council's Social Action Department Records. Ryan's correspondence is the largest portion of materials, occupying over half of the collection. There are also articles, sermons, clippings, reports, pamphlets, lecture notes, scrapbooks, a personal journal, a small number of photos, and some audio recordings. The materials are divided into seven series: (1) Correspondence Series, (2) Reference Files Series, (3) Writings, Speeches and Sermons Series, (4) Journal Series, (5) Teaching Notebooks Series, (6) Scrapbooks Series, and an (7) Audiovisual Series. |
