Historical Note

The Dana family* has been a prominent part of Cambridge, Massachusetts history since the first Richard Dana settled there around 1640.
* For family history and genealogy see: Elizabeth Ellery Dana, THE DANA FAMILY IN AMERICA, Cambridge, Mass.: 1956; and Charles Francis Adams, RICHARD HENRY DANA, A BIOGRAPHY, Boston: Houghton, Mifflin, 1890.

Scope and Content

This collection of diaries, correspondence, and other papers centers primarily on four women of the Richard Henry Dana, Jr. (1815-1882) family: Sarah Watson Dana (1814-1907), his wife; Ruth Charlotte Dana (1814-1901), his sister; Elizabeth Ellery Dana (1846-1939), one of his daughters; and Rosamond Dana Wild (1879-1959), his granddaughter.
Spanning three generations, the writings and correspondence of these women provide a day to day, year to year account of one family's existence for over a century (1822-1956). Descriptions of social activities, school days, trips to Europe, as well as news of childbirth, family illnesses, and deaths fill the pages of diaries and letters. Letters from other family members and relatives reveal a closeness of family ties. Life-long friendships can be found among the numerous non-family correspondents. Very few of the letters venture outside the areas of family, health, religion, or weather. Other papers in the collection include family wills and property transactions as well as a small amount of correspondence, etc. for legal cases in which RHD, Jr., or his son, RHD, III (1851-1931), were the attorneys.**
The collection is divided into two series: Series I consists of diaries, correspondence books, account books, and miscellaneous notebooks; series II of correspondence and other papers (for arrangement see summary of inventory on page 5). An index of correspondents begins on page 19.
** For other legal papers as well as family papers see: Dana Collection, Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Mass. Also Longfellow House Archives, Cambridge, Mass.
