Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The collection contains correspondence, newspaper clippings, and photographs of Helen Keller and her companions, Annie Sullivan Macy and Polly Thomson. Much of the correspondence is written by Polly to Adelyn Hood, concert violinist and friend of Helen's. The photographs include several snapshots (some of which have been enlarged) taken in probably the early 1930s showing Helen standing in snow with three other people, most likely Annie Sullivan Macy, John Macy, and Polly Thomson. There is also a studio portrait of Helen, Annie, Polly, and their dog, Sieglinde, inscribed to Sweet Adeline (Adelyn Hood) by all three.
The other materials in the collection consist of handwritten prayers, inspirational newspaper clippings, and greeting cards, most likely collected by Adelyn Hood. There are also photocopies of a studio portrait of Miss Hood (identified by the donor) holding her violin.
