Hetty MacLise Early Years Archive

Hetty MacLise Early Years Archive

The collection primarily documents Hetty MacLise’s life during which she was known as Mary (or Hetty) McGee, Mary Catherine Burton, and Mary Scholten, and consists of materials she created during her time abroad in the 1950s and 1960s. In this transformative period, Hetty had already been married, divorced, and traveled to several different countries beyond her native United Kingdom. Her passport (stamped nearly 100 times in the span of a few years) and large caches of correspondence reflect this formative period in her life that would lay the groundwork for her later years. 

The collection has sold.
