Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Vontella Hess Buchholz Kimball papers (1931-1971) consist of correspondence, notebooks, and newspaper clippings concerning her work and interest in cosmetics and the Middle East. Vontella (1906-1971) was an active and independent woman with a desire to travel and learn. The collection consists of diaries, correspondence and newspaper articles that give us an insight to Vontella's life. The first two boxes in this collection date back to 1935 and consist of Vontella's travel journals, notebooks, and passports. Box three contains personal correspondence with family and friends she met through her travels, as well as correspondence with an organization called the American Friends of the Middle East. The last boxes have folders containing notes, papers, speeches, family history, and newspaper clippings.
