Scope and Contents

From the Series:

These files contain personal, professional, and business correspondence pertaining to Judith Minty’s public life as an educator and writer, as well as her private life of family, friends, financial matters, health issues, and other interests and concerns. They are divided into categories as follows:

General Correspondence. JM organized these files alphabetically by last name or by name of a manuscript collection that was the subject of the correspondence. The finding aid retains her organization with some clarifying notes re. the manuscript names. Some non-correspondence files (internet articles, for example) have also been retained as they were originally included by JM.

Readings (letters back and forth setting up poetry readings by JM and others; organized chronologically by JM; some are grouped by state and span a number of years within one folder; also includes publicity, flyers, etc.)

Job Files (correspondence re. applying for academic positions as well as recommendations and related papers; organized chronologically by JM)
