The Sr. Mary Lawrence Franklin Archival Center collections include materials related to the Mercyhurst Community and Sisters of Mercy and several special collections. Special Collections include the Mayor Louis J. Tullio Collection which consists of memorabilia from Louis J. Tullio’s twenty-four years as mayor of Erie, the Harry T. Burleigh Collection which reflects the life of this famous Erie-born composer, arranger, and professional singer, the International Institute Collection which contains scrapbooks, correspondence, newsletters, flyers, and photographs documenting this Erie organization’s history, and the Dan Rice Collection which includes memorabilia about this noted clown and circus showman and his descendants.
