<mods:abstract>The collection includes family papers, papers relating the Sayward House, photographic material, and printed material. There is significant documentation of individuals from the earlier period of the family's history, the mid to late 1700s and early 1800s. Documentation is thinner in the late 1800s and very early 1900s, but the volume increases again in the middle 1900s. The family papers primarily document individuals who lived at the house or were associated closely with the house throughout their lives; individuals who left the house in childhood are not well documented. The one exception to this is George Guelphs Sayward Barrell, who was the American consul in Malaga, Spain. He died in Spain in 1838, and his papers appear to have been sent back to his family. The family papers also document the business relationship between Jonathan Sayward and the Barrell family. The twentieth-century history of the Sayward House is thoroughly documented. The Sayward House papers include bills related to the house and property and the complete correspondence with Historic New England (then the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities) regarding Historic New England's acquisition of the house. The collection also includes photographs of family members, the Sayward House, and York, Maine. Paintings of family members and other subjects have been kept in the Sayward House or have been added to the Historic New England museum collections. Printed materials in this collection consist mostly of newspaper clippings about the history of York, Maine. NOTE: Processing/updating the collection and making the finding aid accessible online were made possible through a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC Grant Project: #RH-50051) and with a generous donation from the Bedford Family Foundation and additional funding from an anonymous donor.</mods:abstract>
