content: The papers of Katharine Dennis Smith include some biographic and personal material, but most of the material consists of her correspondence after her marriage [Boxes 56 to 58]. Of particular interest are her letters about life in Iran, especially those to her long time friend Amy Schroeder and to E. Vail Stebbins, friend and handler of affairs on behalf of the Smiths while they were in Iran. She was an active participant in her husband's academic and Islamic Archives projects [Series 2]. She corresponded with many of the same people, sometimes answering letters written to her husband. Her letters complement his. Her correspondence is arranged alphabetically.
