Gideon White Family Papers

The Index below duplicates the one included in the 1940 printed catalogue, with the added electronic feature that each entry is linked to the appropriate related document description(s). It's a fairly comprehensive index, but we've noticed that it doesn't include interesting details such as vessel names — and so we recommend that you use the Search Box feature as well, to make sure you capture everything.
