The Robert H.

Series one comprises a small amount of personal correspondence and papers as well as notebooks and related materials from Smellie’s time as a student at Trinity College and Columbia University. Series two consists of materials related to Smellie’s work as a professor at Trinity College: notebooks, correspondence, copies of exams administered to students, lecture notes, research proposals, grade books, and resource materials. Series three comprises printed works, both published and unpublished, by Smellie and other authors.
