A “catch all” series arranged by Reuben G. Thwaites and his staff for a varied assortment of manuscripts found among Draper's possessions. Although some pieces could more logically have been placed in other groups related to the author or content, most of the papers did not appear to fit into series which Draper had himself arranged. Some items were acquisitions with topics ranging outside the major areas of his interest, some were personal papers he had created, and a few were documents which had originated in his family.
Descriptions of the volumes are copied from the Guide to the Draper Manuscripts by Josephine Harper. Out of date and offensive language may be present.
This collection is also available as a microfilm publication.
Forms part of the Lyman Copeland Draper Manuscripts. The fifty series included in the Draper Manuscripts have been cataloged individually. See the Draper Manuscripts Overview, and the Guide to the Draper Manuscripts by Josephine Harper (Madison: State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 1983) for further information.
