Scope and Contents: As a graduate student at the University of Illinois, Wayne E. Stevens worked on several historical studies, including the Illinois Centennial History. Stevens also compiled an inventory of Canadian archives for a study of the Mississippi Valley. This collection contains papers related to the preparation of the first volume of the proposed publications of the Alvord Memorial Commission, including transcripts of pamphlets, articles by Stevens, papers relating to the volume of pamphlets, editing projects, an exchange of letters and reports concerning the projects, vouchers and notes, and the editor's preface and manuscript for the publication of the "Vandalia Pamphlets" ("British Pamphlets Relating to the West").
Mrs. Wayne E. Stevens donated the collection to the Illinois Historical Survey in 1959.
