Dock, Florence Harmon, 1890-

A scrapbook of newspaper clippings and photographs compiled by suffragist Florence Harmon, with material dating from October 1912 through 1933. Many of the photographs of the suffragettes are labeled with their names and the dates and locations of the photos, and include candid shots from demonstrations, speeches, and events. There are also studio portrait photographs of several of the suffragists, including Florence. Other materials include a large amount of correspondence, event cards, fliers, a praise poem, certificates of achievement and recognition, and awards presented to Florence for her work. The beginning of the scrapbook has been very well organized, where the bulk of the material is arranged chronologically and dates 1912-1917, but hereafter the articles, letters, photographs, cards, etc. which had been pasted down in the beginning are interleaved loosely with the scrapbook pages. Other notable figures include Alva Belmont, Katherine Sophie Dreier, Irene Corwin Davison, Maud Cabot, Inez Milholland, Mary Ritter Beard, Blair Niles, Hazel MacKaye, and Georgiana Howland.
