Materials gathered by Maurice B. Cuba for a projected doctoral dissertation at Columbia University on the life of Robert Dale Owen (1801-1877), social reformer, author, and spiritualist. The collection is composed of Mr. Cuba's correspondence about Owen, outlines and drafts for his thesis, many notes and copies of letters from Owen, and photostats of manuscript and printed materials from several libraries in Indiana where Owen helped to establish the utopian community of New Harmony. There are also eleven holograph letters from Owen to various people.
