The Arthur D. Spearman, S. J.(1899-1977) Autograph Collection (1925-1947) consists of 1 box (.2 linear feet). The source of the collection is uncertain, but it was probably left at Loyola as part of Spearman's administrative records after his term as a Loyola University librarian from 1937-1948.
There are two series in the collection: Series 1: Letters and Series 2: Illustrations.
