Series VII “Photo Albums (Undated,)” pictures, and Newspaper Clippings, 1918 - 1980

 Series

Scope and Contents

The photos in this series are of friends and members of the Taft Manning family, mostly undated. Of particular interest is a photo album titled “Filipinas” with photos of President Taft and his family in the Philippines. Though the photos are undated, judging by their context they are likely from the first decade of the 1900s, which coincide with either President Taft’s governorship of the Philippines or with his presence at the First Philippine Assembly in his capacity as the Secretary for War for the U.S. There are a few undated and unsent postcards and pictures from Santa Fé, New Mexico in this series, which does show that the Taft-Manning family made regular visits to the state of the aforementioned Bronson M Cutting. There are a few concert and musical performances programs from the Bi-Co Colleges, The newspaper clippings concern news of family and friends, as well as snapshots of the Taft-Manning family at Bryn Mawr College. They range in date from the early 1920s with articles on the courtship of Helen Taft Manning and Frederick Manning, to the graduation ceremonies of Helen Taft Maning’s grandchildren from Bryn Mawr in the 1960s. The photo albums in this collection provide a unique snapshot of the members of the Taft-Manning family throughout the ages.
