Biographical/Personal
The Biographical/Personal, contains biographical information, including lists of published works, committee appointments, biographical sketches, tributes, and correspondence. Also included in this section are materials relating to Edmonson's hobby, railroads. A photograph folder contains a small amount of pictures of Edmonson and his colleagues, mostly from the 1950s.
Edmonson's work with the University of Michigan Presbyterian Corporation is also well documented in Series One. The Corporation succeeded the Tappan Hall Presbyterian Association and represents the first work among Presbyterian college students in a state university. It is affiliated with the Ann Arbor Presbyterian Church. These folders include minutes from the Committee on Student Work, bylaws, Presbyterian Corporation Board of Trustees meeting minutes, and budget information. Although listed with this series, the family scrapbook is shelved as an oversized volume, separate from the collection. It contains correspondence, newspaper clippings, images of Edmonson as a young man, and other items "to revive pleasant memories."
