| | W. Averell Harriman Papers (Library of Congress) |
 | | The Alaska expedition journal of Edward Henry Harriman was given by W. Averell Harriman's daughters, Kathleen Lanier Harriman Mortimer and Mary Averell Harriman Fisk, in 1992. |
 | | In the mid-1920s, Harriman invested in extracting manganese from mines in the Soviet Republic of Georgia, and during the early 1930s, he took charge of the Union Pacific Railroad and was credited with revivifying the line during the bleakest years of the Depression. |
 | | By then he was divorced from his first wife, the former Kathleen ("Kitty") Lanier Lawrence, and was married to Marie Norton Whitney, who is represented throughout the papers, most significantly as a collector together with her husband of some of the world's finest paintings and illustrations. |
