The personal papers in this collection were generated by Nan Netherton. The collection is approximately 4.5 linear feet and dates from 1946 to 2000 with the bulk of dates ranging from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Much of the material in this collection is generated from her research on Theodore Roosevelt Island and economic, residential, and physical development of Arlington. Many materials in this collection are photocopies of articles and primary sources on her research subjects. There are scattered photographs, both copies of originals in other repositories and uncredited photographs.
