Subseries 1: Alphabetical correspondence

Containers:

Box Box 18, 26 - 110, 541, 543

Scope and content:

Alphabetical correspondence is correspondence filed alphabetically by subject, by the surname of the correspondent, or by the name of the organization. Filing was likely done by Betty Tillman. Some correspondence is grouped under a single letter, for example, a folder titled "A" contains multiple correspondents and organizations that start with the letter A. Some are grouped in a range of letters, for example, a folder title "E-F" contains correspondents starting with either E or F. It is unclear why some were filed out into individual folders and others were left in large files under a single letter or letter range. Note that there are some issues with the original filing, for example the surname "da Empoli" is sometimes filed under D and sometimes under E. Sometimes letters discussing a person are filed under that person's surname, and sometimes under the surname of the person requesting the information. Additionally, previous processors filed out some correspondence into individual folders. No additional re-filing was done under the NEH grant.
