Collection of original photographs and ephemera, including assorted photographs, telegrams, invitations and correspondence. Eliza Sullivan (1935-2012) first worked for Janet Lee Auchincloss in 1979, and became very close with the family. When Mrs. Auchincloss became ill in the early 1980s the family turned to Elisa to help care for her as a personal companion. She stayed on at Hammersmith Farm after Janet's passing in 1989, and when Jackie passed away in 1994, Elisa was retained by Hugh D. Auchincloss III (known as "Yusha") as a personal housekeeper, cook, and book keeper. She continued working for Yusha up until his own death in 2011.
