| 520 | |a Unlike the other records compiled by the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, most of the material in this collection is original. Folders are arranged by family or individual and contain a variety of material. Included are deeds wills and other legal documents, correspondence, account books, bills and receipts, school transcripts, photographs and printed material. Some contain volumes of published family histories. Perhaps more valuable than the genealogical data that can be extracted from these documents is the coverage of contemporary events also highlighted through words and pictures, including the Civil War and the Korean conflict. Some individuals are represented through more extensive documentation, comprising a mini-collection of its own. One such instance is the collection of Edwin S. Dunkerley, a former HSP volunteer. In addition to material documenting his life, there are letters from an apparent relative who served as a missionary in China during World War I. There is also one box of mid-19th century sheet music, identified as "Miss Leach" that includes titles such as "Lieutenant General Grant's Grand March," and F.B. Helmsmuller's "Ruck-Ruck-Gallop," or "Hitch-Hitch." Some records are by institution such as the Moyamensing Lodge No. 330. | ||
