George Washington University
Ladd Family Collection
The Ladd Family Collection consists primarily of personal correspondence between family members, photographs and scrapbook, legal materials, financial materials. Pauline Schostag Ladd (mother) or Robert Boyd Ladd (son) wrote or received the majority of the correspondence. The correspondence takes place mostly during the 20th century. Both Pauline and Boyd were educators, Pauline at the elementary level and Boyd at the university level. The collection also documents most of the educational achievements of the family, and includes many of the diplomas and certificates. Reprocessing occurred in 2018 with the original accession numbers left on individual items and keeping the original order.
