Theodore Dreiser Collection 1917 Jul 5

[Dreiser responds to Wilkinson's invitation to visit, "You will note that I am not in N.Y. at present. Am writing, literally under the greenwood tree. When I get back, the latter part of this month, shall be only too glad to take advantage of your sea-view some p.m. The land view here is about as charming as anything could be and instead of slang I am learning country patois. Tell Mrs. Wilkinson the question of cooling is not important at present."]

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
