Between 1979 and 1993, Dr. Garber donated over 2,000 autograph letters, documents and books to the Department of Special Collections.

Richard Elmore's Letters to the Earl of Darnley
Richard Elmore’s Letters to the Earl of Darnley Edited and with an introduction by Caoimhín de Bhailís Richard Elmore M.D. M.R.C.S. Attributed to Alfred Elmore, R.A. (Private collection) 1 John Bligh, 4th Earl of Darnley Attributed to Thomas Phillips, National Trust Mount Stewart, Scotland. 2 Introduction Richard John Elmore is one of the many nineteenth century political campaigners who have fallen out of view and hence consideration when we discuss the history of the period. Elmore was an activist who made valuable contributions to the debate on Catholic Emancipation and also a campaigner that sought improvements in the economic relationships that existed between Ireland and the rest of the then United Kingdom, as Ireland was a part of the Empire at the time. He was a close friend of Daniel O‘Connell and a director of the National Irish Bank; he was a defender of his Catholic business associates and, for a period, a major employer of linen workers at his factory n Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Richard as born in around 1785 and took his first appointment as a hospital assistant with the 1st Garrison Battalion in January 1807.1 According to Elmore he had moved to Clonakilty around 1807 with the intention of practicing as a physician, however he could ill afford to continue to practice as he often had to provide his services without charging a fee due to the poverty amongst the peasantry and he was ‗obliged frequently to put my hand into my own pocket; no man could possibly avoid it that possessed one spark of humanity in his 1 WO 25/75/92. -

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting. -

Download Nightingale Fund Letters
Archives & Special Collections, Columbia University Health Sciences Library Auchincloss Florence Nightingale Collection AUCHINCLOSS, HUGH, 1878-1947, collector. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE FUND LETTERS, 1848-1898 (bulk 1855-1856) 1 cubic foot (3 boxes) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Hugh Auchincloss was born Dec. 28, 1878 in New York City. He was educated at Groton, was graduated from Yale in 1901, and received his medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S), Columbia University, in 1905. After surgical residencies at Presbyterian and Roosevelt Hospitals in New York, he began a long association with both Presbyterian Hospital and P&S, eventually becoming Chief of the Second Surgical Division of Presbyterian and Professor of Clinical Surgery at P&S. He was best known for his skill in surgery of the hand and of the breast. He died in 1947. Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy to William Edward and Frances Smith Nightingale. Educated at home by her father, she later rejected the traditional role and pursuits of an upper-class Victorian lady to devote herself to nursing reform and public health advocacy. She became an iconic figure in Victorian Britain through her work nursing British troops during the Crimean War (1854-1856). Afterwards, though an invalid for most the rest of her life, Nightingale became an influential voice in government public health policy in late 19th century Britain, especially as it affected India. Nightingale died on August 13, 1910. HISTORICAL NOTE: The Florence Nightingale Fund was created as a result of the work of a group led by author Anna Maria Hall, her husband, journalist Samuel Carter Hall and statesman Sir Sidney Herbert and his wife, writer and prominent social figure Elizabeth Herbert, who in 1855 organized a public subscription to create a testament to Britain’s appreciation Florence Nightingale’s service to the nation during the Crimean War. -

The Canterbury Association
The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry. -

N offering the present compilation of family data to those interested, I wish it to be clearly understood that I claim to no originality. It is intended—as can readily be seen by those who . read it—to be merely a gathering together of fragments of family history, which has cost me many hours of research, and which I hope may prove useful to any future member of the family who may feel curious to know who his forefathers were. I believe the pedigrees of the family I have compiled from various sources to be the most complete and accurate that ever have been published.
