  • Staff Only

Scope and Contents note

This series primarily consists of printed invitations, menus, and other souvenirs that Harrison collected as mementos of various dinners, receptions, and other functions that he attended. In addition, this series also includes various political mementos, including a humorous excursion ticket that mentions Carter H. Harrison III, and admission tickets to political conventions. Catalogues from exhibitions where items from Harrison's art collection were shown, or in which he otherwise had a special interest, as well as a set of club by-laws from Les Rosettes et Rubans de France, are also arranged in this series. A few of the items contain handwritten notes by Harrison that provide some background information about the event to which the item in question pertains.
