Lloyd W. and Esther Bliss Taylor papers, 1896-1980 (bulk 1921-1970).
The papers of Lloyd William Taylor cover the years 1921-1952, and contain his correspondence, writings and talks, and personal records. The bulk of the material pertains to his career as a physicist and his professional and teaching activities in the Oberlin College Department of Physics. Notable correspondents include Robert Andrews Millikan and Arthur H. Compton; there is also significant correspondence concerning the American Association of Physics Teachers (1931-1940). Letters of recommendation for former physics students offer rich documentation of the quality of physics graduates during Taylor's tenure. The papers of Esther Bliss Taylor largely document her role in the local temperance movement.
