The Grace Polk Collection covers the life of the Polk family from the early 20th century to the 1970s. The bulk of the collection consists of private and official correspondence, but also includes personal papers, clippings, publications, and essays. Although Grace Polk, the daughter of Harry and Elizabeth Polk, compiled the collection, the records concentrate on her parents, grandparents, and other relatives. The combination of official documents, clippings and correspondence illuminates the situation of Jewish families living in Europe under the Nazis. Finally, the collection illustrates the effort and problems encountered by Jews as they attempted to leave the country, in particular from Austria, as well as their experiences in the United States. Also included are personal records such as school reports from the 1910s, scrapbooks depicting life during several wars, songbooks, drawings, and oral histories
