| acquisition information | The Walker Papers were donated to the Minnesota Historical Society over the course of some twenty-three years, primarily by Mrs. Louise W. McCannel of Minneapolis, the daughter of Archie D. Walker, Sr., and granddaughter of T. B. Walker. A small amount of correspondence was received in 1987 from the Walker Art Center through its librarian, Rosemary Furtak. A few folders of miscellaneous Walker-related papers already in the possession of the Society were incorporated into the larger collection as well. |
