For those who are seriously interested in knowing more about Ella Young I have compiled a list of the many archives from which I obtained material on or by Ella Young. This list no doubt needs to be updated - so I encourage you to follow her paper trail, track down her known associations to see if she can be found among their papers. Research! This requires extensive digging and analyzing. As my mother often said: "A job worth doing, is a job worth doing well."
