Information About Callender

The papers of Guy Stevens Callender consist of materials that primarily relate to the economic history of the Upper Midwest. Notes exist on “internal Improvements in Ohio”; on the “early History of the Canal”; and on economic developments in the State of Illinois (six folders).  These notes may have been part of the 1915 book purchase. The book purchase itself is documented in the records of the Oberlin College Library and in the personal papers of director Azariah Smith Root. This collection lacks personal correspondence or materials that would document the life of Callender more completely.
