VASSAR COLLEGE LIBRARY, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
The Lucy Maynard Salmon papers include research data collected on domestic service for the period
considered here.
WILDERSTEIN PRESERVATION, INC.
The personal papers of Miss Margaret Suckley were being processed during the course of this project.
Several conversations with Duane Watson, President of Wilderstein, indicated that material relating to the
acquisition of Hyde Park by the government had not been found to date.
WINTERTHUR MUSEUM AND LIBRARY
The Herter Brothers Papers in the Joseph Downs Collection of Manuscripts includes the late records of
the Herter Brothers Firm. There are ledgers, journals and bills relating to Herter Brothers work at Hyde
Park. A collection of proscriptive literature on household management for the Gilded Age was useful. No
relevant personal papers of Ruth Wales DuPont were located, nor were there any references in Henry
Francis DuPont's personal papers to visits to Hyde Park.
WORCESTER HISTORICAL MUSEUM
The museum maintains a very small collection of Norcross Brothers memorabilia: a prospectus, a printed
project list, an announcement for a change in the company's name, and assorted newspaper clippings.
ZUBER, NEW YORK
The showroom of Zuber in New York was visited in the hope of determining if they were the makers of
the second floor guest room papers. The large collection of books documenting the papers, many of
which are still in production, could not be consulted. The receptionist declared that the papers were not
by Zuber.
