Arrangement
The correspondence series is arranged into two subseries for literary correspondence and personal correspondence. Files are organized alphabetically. Each folder is notated with the following information: whether it is incoming or outgoing correspondence; the name of the correspondent; the year(s) in which the correspondence was conducted. Email correspondence is notated only with the name of the person being corresponded with, the year of the correspondence, and in most cases incoming and outgoing correspondence is contained in the same file. This correspondence was sorted, filed, and organized by Stephen Morrissey in 2002-2005.
