Scope and Contents
The Evelyn Chase Robison papers (1892-1995) are largely made up of correspondence between Evelyn Chase Robison (1914-1995) and her husband, Dr. Benjamin Franklin (B.F.) Robison.

Evelyn Chase Robison and their son, Pinky, could not accompany Dr. Robison and remained in Provo, Utah during this time. Included with this correspondence are also some letters from Dr. Robison's mother. The rest of the collection consists of more recent correspondence from the family and friends of Evelyn Chase Robison, the death certificates of Dr. B.F. Robison and her stepmother, Christina Stevenson Springmeyer, and other types of documents.
