Series II: Personal Papers, 1871-2008

Series II: Personal Papers is relatively brief, and mostly contains awards, correspondence and newspaper clippings relating to Cassidy's life and work, as well as his research into his personal family history. The correspondence that was provided with the collection is very sporadic, and consists of emails written and printed out by Cassidy, and notes from friends and colleagues regarding his illness. The newspaper clippings differ from those in Series I, as these are clippings about, not authored by, Cassidy. The most significant portion of material in this series relates to Cassidy's work on tracing his own family's genealogy.
