BIOGRAPHICAL FILE

Summary: The BIOGRAPHICAL FILE contains a mix of print and manuscript material segregated from the main series because of their direct reflections on Griffis's own life and work. They include autobiographical manuscript materials (excluding the series "Vignettes of Memory," part of which appears in PUBLISHED WORKS); newspaper clippings referring to Griffis or reviewing his lectures or books, found either loose (grouped loosely in folders) or pasted into Kraft-paper bindings (these bound items are listed at the end of the series); ephemeral materials, such as items pertaining to his pastorates in Boston (the Shawmut Congregational Church) and Ithaca; listings of Griffis's library holdings, Rutgers Targum articles, and various miscellaneous materials of a similar nature.
