The collection comprises a variety of small manuscripts acquired by the Department of
Special Collections and Archives at the University of California, Irvine over a period
spanning circa 1960-2000. The majority of the manuscripts are corresondence or signatures.
Most of the correspondence in the collection was removed from rare books that were either

also includes items such as photographs, engravings, poems, autograph books, account books,
and newspaper clippings. Some items of note are an envelope addressed by Charles Dickens,
two pages of a manuscript of

Clemens (Mark Twain), and six letters written by Upton Sinclair.
