Research Materials, 1860-1992 and undated

 Series 5

Series V consists of the primary and secondary source materials that Hosmer assembled during the course of his research and upon which he based many of the research notes in Series II. Representative items in this series are photocopies of correspondence and other documents, newspaper clippings, and periodical articles. The material in this series dates from 1860 to 1992, although most items were created between 1920 and 1960. A large portion of the series consists of material associated with the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg and the role of the National Park Service in historic preservation.

Series V has been arranged into two groups. The first portion of the series is arranged in alphabetical order by state, and then by specific sites, projects, and persons. Individual subject files, arranged alphabetically, make up the second group of this series. Subjects include organizations and sites or structures. This part of the series includes numerous files from the National Park Service and the Society for Preservation of New England Antiquities. Also of note are three files of papers and dissertation chapters by James Glass, another prominent historian of the preservation movement in the United States.
