Stephen L. and Enid Stover papers

13.00 Linear Feet, 16.00 Boxes

This collection includes research and personal materials of Stephen L. and Enid Stover from 1956 to 2013.

Major topical areas include Kansas, New Zealand, Australia, Stover genealogical materials, and extensive information on geographic subjects from around the world. Additional materials are from Enid, Stephen's wife, and include personal documents, works of poetry, and teaching materials. Included are Enid's diaries from 1981 to 2004 (some missing years), some identification cards, drafts of her poetry, and drafts of Sue Stover's 2012 biography of Enid and of a 2014 publication of Enid's poetry.

The Stephen L. and Enid Stover papers are arranged in four series: 1) Slides; 2) Documents—Stephen Stover; 3) Documents—Enid Stover; and 4) Photographs.
