Series 1: Journals
1900s-1968
Scope and Content
The journals series contains bound journals and loose journal entries that were written throughout St. Denis's life, from
the early 1900s to 1968 a few weeks before she passed away. These journals include such topics as St. Denis' performances,
choreographic concepts, religious and aesthetic views, community and social problems, travels, personal life, and public image
as an artist. Her journals provide insight into the struggles she faced towards the end of her career when St. Denis did not
have the financial stability to perform what she wanted and as often as she wanted.

Processing Information
Carolina Meneses revised description for correspondence in this series to ensure consistency in description and provide better
discovery and access points. Titles were at times ambiguous and misleading to users. For instance, some of the original titles
included the term "history letter" and after some research, Meneses determined that these were long letters that St. Denis
wrote to her friends and colleagues to keep them up to date with her life. The New York Public Library's Jerome Robbins Dance
Division also has history letters in their collection of Ruth St. Denis papers.
Since files contained letters between St. Denis and diverse people discussing a variety of topics, and dates were the most
common thread, Meneses decided to preference the dates over devising new, more comprehensive titles. She provided a scope
and content note for each file and documented the primary creators in the letters in the files' descriptions. Primary creators
were designated as those represented in the majority of the materials in the files or have a significant relationship with
St. Denis.
