Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Correspondence, personal materials and writings of Marguerite Deville Chabrol Storrs. The majority of the correspondence is from friends, though there is a small amount of outgoing correspondence to her daughter, Monique Storrs Booz, and her mother, Emma Deville Chabrol. There is also a group of letters from relatives of British RAF soldiers killed when their aircraft crashed near the Storrs' home Chantecaille during World War II. Marguerite Storrs contacted the families after the end of the war and helped trace the gravesites of the British soldiers. The series includes some personal items belonging to Marguerite Storrs, including calendars, notebooks, a passport and unofficial will. World War II-era materials include coupons, ration books, and clippings, and also documents related to the use of family property at Chantecaille and Orleans by both the French and German armies.

Under the pseudonym Marc Debrol, Marguerite Storrs wrote short stories, novellas, and some arts-related pieces for brochures and art catalogs, many of which are included in both manuscript and published form.

Most materials in French, with some in English and German.
