Scope and Contents
Often in the collecting of documents items become available that are of historical interest or importance, but because they are a single item they are difficult to handle. When the Marie Eccles Caine Archive of Intermountain Americana was established the decision was made to create a place for these valuable, but often neglected manuscripts. Thus the name for the first collection in the Caine archive is appropriately entitled "Miscellanea."
The first box of this collection has 18 different collections. Each folder has been handled as a separate manuscript collection. When deemed necessary an item has been placed into a slip case or a box to protect it. This first box reflects the philosophy of the "Miscellanea" collection both in the importance of the documents historically and in their variety of subject matter. For example in Box #1 there is a Wells Fargo and Company cash ledger, vouchers from the Utah Territorial Legislature, as well as an Albert Sydney Johnston letter and a George Q. Cannon signature. Collection #1 hopefully will grow and become an important archive of single item manuscripts.
