W.W. Embree Dekalb, Illinois
Inventory of the W.W. Embree DeKalb, Illinois Collection In the Regional History Center RC 2 1 INTRODUCTION Mrs. Waite Embree and Mr. George D. Embree donated the Waite W. Embree Collection to the Regional History Collections of the University Archives in March 1967. Northern Illinois University Archivist J. Joseph Bauxar and history Professor Earl Hayter brought this collection to the University, thus preserving the single most significant group of historical records documenting the heritage of the DeKalb area. In the spring of 1978 Mr. Bauxar transferred the collection to the Regional History Center. Property rights in the collection are held by the Regional History Center; literary rights are dedicated to the public. There are no restrictions to the collection. Linear feet of shelf space: 63.50 Number of Containers: 74 + 18 notebooks Northern Illinois Regional History Center Collection 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT Waite W. Embree and his father, Elmer E. Embree, preserved most of the historical materials generated by the family’s business and social activities. Waite, especially, collected a large volume of printed materials and photographs that relate to his main interests--the history of DeKalb and the history of railroading. It is important to note that Embree was a collector: indeed, in the absence of an active county historical society, Waite Embree filled a void in DeKalb County with his keen interest in the preservation of the county’s past for many decades. In keeping with the agreement concerning the donation of the collection to the University the integrity of arrangement by Embree has been respected whenever possible. -
