Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Porter-Harvey Family Papers consist of five series: Harvey Family Papers, Porter Family Papers, Porter-Harvey Genealogy, Miscellaneous and Photographs.
The largest series in the collection is the Harvey Family Papers, which contain letters written by Julian C. Harvey to his parents (largely to his mother, Mary Harvey), detailing his experiences in World War II. The letters give a personal look into the life of a family during the pre-War, War, and post-War period. Sections of some letters have been censored by the War Department. A portion of this series consists of field notes, a scrapbook, and papers of Augustus Ford, surveyor of Nebraska/Kansas territory. This series also contains letters from Captain John Studley to his wife and from William Goddard to Studley's wife. Studley died at sea, and some of the letters pertain to the disposition of Studley's property for the benefit of his widow.
The Porter Family Papers contain information from the World War I period, mostly in the form of letters between Clyde H. Porter and his wife Mae Reed Porter during the traumatic period of WWI. Another significant component of the Porter Family Papers is a holographic journal, "Taos Notes," written by Mae Reed Porter and containing personal notes from her visits with prominent Taos personalities and contemporaries including Dorothy Brett, Mabel Dodge Luhan, the Lawrences, Leon Gaspard, etc. Another portion of this series deals with Joseph Franklin Porter and his leadership of the Kansas City Power and Light Company
The Porter-Harvey Genealogy series consists of family journals and family histories which give genealogical background to both families. This series contains information on the social life and customs of the Porter and Harvey families.
The Miscellaneous series, contains ephemera and memorabilia, and information on the Alfred Jacob Miller art collection.
A CD added to the Miscellaneous series in 2014 contains information relating to the Line Camp, a nightclub in Pojoaque, New Mexico, owned and operated by John and Julian Harvey from 1979 to 1986. The popular venue attracted nationally known musicians such as Taj Mahal, New Riders of the Purple Sage, J.J. Cale, Etta James and Bonnie Raitt. There are also images of Gary Eckard, a musician who frequently performed at the Line Camp, and photos from his memorial service in August 2012.
The Photographs series contains family portraits and picture postcards. Included are some World War I and World War II era images.
