{"value"=>"<p>Wynner's personal files contain her secondary school papers, diaries, and household paperwork. Her citizenship and visa documents include her birth certificate and family immigration paperwork, with material that details her successful application for derivative United States citizenship through her father's status. Wynner lived with the Schwimmer sisters, and was primarily supported by them in addition to her modest earnings from book sales and lectures. Household notes and estate documents also discuss her care for both sisters in their final illnesses and her inheritance of their literary rights.</p> <p>Wynner's diaries range from day-to-day accounts of her home life and early travels to documentation of her various health ailments, particularly early hearing loss. Wynner's experience at Camp Tera, a Civilian Conservation Corps offshoot camp for young women, is recounted in its own volume. The cards and memberships file provides an overview of her personal, civic, and professional engagement, particularly her continued participation in activist and feminist organizations. Telephone diaries and mail books offer only sporadic documentation of her correspondence, with the name, date, and subject of telephone calls and letters; additional telephone diaries and mail books are kept in the Schwimmer-Lloyd collection, Series AA.</p> <p>Photographs in this series consist primarily of candid snapshots of family and close friends, as well as a small number of formal family portraits. General photograph files consist of snapshots and portraits of Wynner herself as well as unidentified scenes. Wynner's photograph albums contain Wynner family snapshots, photographs of her European travels, and summer vacations with the Schwimmer and Lloyd families.</p>"}
