Gardens - Fortfield , 1958
Scope and Contents
This collection primarily consists of materials for the United Workers of Greenwich between 1907-1915. Of particular interest there might be the collection of annual reports, along with correspondence regarding the land and house given to the United Workers by Sarah Bruce as a site for the day care center also referenced in the materials. There is also a sizable personal collection, including several photograph albums predominantly of her Fortfield gardens, an album of the Fortfield show of Irish art which includes detailed inventories of works in each picture, and other pamphlets and publications regarding exhibitions by Helen. Of particular interest here might be a circa 1916 album including images of Helen attending the Wabanaki school, founded by Ernest Thompson Seton.
