Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Newsclippings, diaries, account books, correspondence, degrees, souvenirs, book reviews, and other miscellaneous items reflecting the personal life of Graham Taylor, as well as summarizing his professional life as a minister and a crusader for social justice. Taylor kept pocket diaries from his years at Rutgers College and steadily through the years until 1938, the year he died. The diaries include appointments, social engagements, his religious thoughts and feelings, travel experiences, and the like. There is also a sizeable amount of clippings and features about Taylor, both during his life and after his death, as well as many condolence notes and letters written primarily to daughter Lea after he died. When Taylor and his second wife visited the Philippines and Japan in 1922, Taylor kept many items given him on board the ships (such as guest lists and menus), clippings about his visits, and maps of the places he was visiting.
