Scope and Content
The Legg Family Papers and Realia consist primarily of Legg family personal and business records. The personal materials include autograph books, correspondence, family recipes, a fan, financial records, manuscripts, and scrapbooks. The business records include newspaper advertisements, correspondence, and ledgers of Frank E. Legg's and Morris M. Seabolt's business, The Ann Arbor Music Company. Several items found with the collection lack any documentation or provenance, including a fan, manuscripts, and recipes. The first folders of this series are genealogical records of the Legg family complied by Legg and others. Also included in this series are 3 articles by Victor E. Legg and limited correspondence of Frank E. Legg, Junior. The correspondence presumably collected was after Frank E. Legg, Junior's death in 1983.
