Notes
- The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) records are closely linked by provenance and subject matter with the Blackwell family papers and with the Carrie Chapman Catt papers. These three collections held by the Manuscript Division have been known collectively as the Suffrage Archives. Also related by provenance is the Library of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and its president Carrie Chapman Catt, a library of seven to eight hundred titles collected between 1890 and 1938 by members of NAWSA and donated to the Library of Congress Rare Book and Special Collections Division by Catt in 1938.
