Spaulding, all being childless, with the stipulation that their property would be distributed for charitable purposes within fifteen years of the last to die. (See, Eugene C. Struckhoff, The Orange Tree and the Inch Worm (Concord, N.H. : Spaulding-Potter Charitable Trusts, 1973)).The bulk of the collection consists of files (successful and unsuccessful applicants) that were used as a basis for grant decisions, general correspondence files, grant-supported project reports and exhibits, etc.
