Series 8. General research files, ca. 1930-1984. Boxes 39-47.

Correspondence, research notes, and printed material bearing significant marginalia collected or created by Mary Hudgins on a wide variety of research and writing topics. Most of the materials were created by Mary herself, but some of the notes appear to be those created by Dr. Francis J. Scully and may have been taken from his files by Hudgins when she obtained his collection. Although efforts have been made during processing to reduce the duplication of materials, they have not all been eliminated. Hudgins kept numerous carbons of her letters and notes which she filed under several different folder titles depending on the informational content. Freqently the relationship between the carbon copies and the folder titles is unclear without careful reading. Letters within the folders generally pertain to the title subject and are both to and from Hudgins as well as other parties. (For other letters sent or recieved by Hudgins consult those in Group I, Series 1, General Correspondence; Group II, Series 6, Music Research Files.)

Significant groups of manuscript materials created by individuals and entities have been removed from this series and arranged as seperate collections within Group III, Topical Manuscript Collections. Most of the printed materials originally in this series have been removed to Group II, Series 9, Hot Springs Veritical File, where they have been arranged under Library of Congress subject headings to facilitate access. Preliminary and subsquent drafts of manuscript articles based on the research files have, for the most part, been removed to Group II, Series 2 and 3, where they are arranged alphabetically by title and author.

The files in this series have been arranged alphabetically under the file folder titles assigned by Hudgins to preserve a semblence of her unique system of information retrieval.

Series 9. Hot Springs vertical file, ca. 1900-1984. Boxes 48-53.

Newspaper clippings, pamphlets, brochures, and other printed emphemera collected by Mary Hudgins dealing with all phases of Garland County and Hot Springs city history. This series has been created from printed material culled from various research files other than those dealing with music and arranged alphabetically to approximate Library of Congress subject headings. Exceptions to LC subject headings include menus, proper names, family names, business names, and materials dealing with the administration of the National Park at Hot Springs. General tourist brochures that deal with Hot Springs have been arranged (for the most part) under the subject heading TOURISM. However, those brochures that were issued by railroads, the Chamber of Commerce, and the National Park Service have been filed as extensions of those subject headings. The largest group of materials can be found under the subject heading BIOGRAPHY and consist primarily of brief obituary notices. More voluminous material on individuals can be found gathered under file folder bearing proper names.
