Eli M. Oboler Library
Dr. Richard Howard Collection
MC092
Scope and Content
This is a small collection consisting of 3 manuscript boxes. The collection was donated to Idaho State University by Dr. Richard Howard. No paperwork on the donation remains. As such, there is confusion concerning the donor. We are assuming the collection was donated by the grandson of Dr. Minnie Howard rather that her son of the same name.
The collections main focus is on Howard Family history. Material on either Richard Howard (specifically) is very sparse. There is one folder that involves childhood memories of Richard F. Howard but it is not dated. Other material found in the collect is focused Fort Hall and the Oregon Trail.
