The papers consist of material created and compiled by Caryl Liddell Hargreaves that is related to Alice Liddell Hargreaves' life and various events surrounding the 1932 centenary celebrations of the author Lewis Carroll (1832-1898). Much of the collection documents the visit Alice Hargreaves and her son Caryl made to New York in the spring of 1932, so that she could receive an honorary degree from Columbia University and attend various Carroll centenary events. Box 1 holds a manuscript diary by Caryl Hargreaves covering his mother's trip to America, and three folders of manuscript and printed writings by him about her; photographs of Alice Hargreaves; her passport, ephemera and printed memorabilia from Columbia University; and two small scrapbooks with press cuttings about Alice Hargreaves and Lewis Carroll. One of the scrapbooks was created by Maud Standen Ffooks, a personal friend of Charles Dodgson, and given to Caryl Hargreaves.
