Summary | The Fuller Sisters (Oriska, Rosalind, Cynthia, and Dorothy Fuller) was an English folk singing group from Dorset, England, who performed English, Scottish, and Irish folksongs and was managed by their brother Walter Fuller. They undertook five tours of North America between 1911 and 1917. The collection chiefly documents these tours through correspondence, journals, programs and publicity materials, photographs, music and lyric sheets, and other materials pertaining to the Sisters's and Walter's lives. |
