Scope and Content

From the Collection: The Ann DeHuff Peters collection consists of eight boxes, containing seven series. Photographs are integrated into the respective series. The material in Series I, Education and Teaching Career, includes forty-five folders about Peters' career from 1946 to 1991. Information about her employment at the University of California at San Diego, including student advisee records, some correspondence, curriculum vitae, medical licensure records, speaking engagements, extension course involvement, and continuing education information comprise the bulk of this series.

Series II, Organizational Involvement and Employment, contains the largest number of folders, 174, and covers material from 1961 to 1991. The collection has the greatest amount of information about the American Orthopsychiatric Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Most often, her organizational involvement or employment was associated with child health, development, and welfare, day care, or both. The files contain correspondence, some presentations and speeches, reports she helped compile, and records of her volunteer work.

The twenty-six folders in Series III, Research Materials, cover the years from 1941 to 1990 and consist mainly of newspaper clippings, reports, or magazine articles. The bulk of the research materials pertain to child health, development, and welfare, or day care. This series includes three folders about her National Association for the Education of Young Children book. Occasionally, rough drafts of Dr. Peters' writings appear in the files. Closely connected to Series III, the eighteen folders in Series IV, Ann DeHuff Peters' Publications, Presentations, and Other Writings, house rough drafts of articles and book chapters, a copy of her masters thesis, her book Early Child Care, and other publications and presentations from 1938 to 1979.

Series V, Miscellaneous Correspondence, has thirteen folders that span the years from 1968 to 1990. The correspondence pertains to general business, Peter's teaching career, research, publications, employment, and organizational involvement.

Series VI contains fifteen folders on travel from 1966 to 1983. Ann Peters either went on these trips in conjunction with her work or with her husband's work, and the trips usually combined business and pleasure.

Series VII, Personal Papers, consists of sixteen folders, that include some autobiographical writings by Peters, information about her daughters and her mother, and letters from people she considered special friends. The files cover the years from 1939 to 1991.
