and extends from his early days in preparatory classes in Algeria up to his independent research on Husserl. While the series
does not represent all of the work that Derrida produced while he was a student, it contains all that is known to be extant.
None of the material has been published. The terms
dissertation and
exposé as used in this description denote student essays and reports. The series has been organized in four subseries.

Subseries 1.3.
Work on Husserl,
1953-1957.
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This subseries contains all the notes and drafts pertaining to Derrida's intensive study of Husserl while he was a student.
Much of the material is undated and probably was created during Derrida's periods of intensive research on Husserl at Louvain
in 1953-1954 and at Harvard University in 1956-1957. The majority of the items are reading notes. While none of the material
has been published, the work represents the background research to both
Le problème de la genèse dans la philosophie de Husserl and the introduction to Derrida's French translation of Husserl's
Origin of Geometry. Although some of this material chronologically overlaps with that in subseries 1.2, its original order has been maintained
because it represents Derrida's own organization.

Series 2.
Teaching and seminars,
1959-1995.
Physical Description:
8.3 linear ft.
Series Scope and Content Summary
This series, representing materials related to Derrida's work as a teacher, begins with his earliest teaching at Le Mans in
1959 and continues up to his most recent seminars in L'Ecole des hautes Etudes en Sciences sociales (EHESS) and the University
of California, Irvine (UCI). The series documents almost every seminar that Derrida has ever taught. In the majority of cases,
the seminar is fully written out (in either manuscript or typescript) and is supplemented with a variety of notes and photocopies.
Throughout this description the term séance is used to denote individual course sessions of a seminar. This series is arranged
chronologically, beginning with several short, undated seminars that are probably from Derrida's first years of teaching.
Folder dates indicate the year in which a seminar was given, but within the folder seminar material may precede or post-date
the year of the seminar.
Any materials that are significantly damaged or fragile have been pulled to restricted files and replaced by library photocopies.
For clarity of page order, pages occasionally have been numbered in pencil in square brackets at the bottom right hand corner.
Original page groupings have been indicated in notes within some folders when that grouping wasn't already apparent, and when
Derrida made an effort to single out the pages as a group by, for example, clipping them together or wrapping a page around
the group. Where there are clearly distinct versions of a seminar or when there are virtually identical copies of seminar
materials, these materials have been so noted. Any seminar notes or accompanying texts typically are housed either in a folder
preceding the rest of the seminar material, or with the first copy of the seminar. Where there are several copies of a seminar,
the first copy is usually more marked and obviously used. For seminars given during more than one year, material is separated
chronologically whenever possible; when that distinction could not be clearly made, all material is placed under one date
with a note of reference at the other date. The locations where seminars were given are noted below when they are known for
certain; more often, the schools at which Derrida taught during the seminar year are given. Typically, Derrida has taught
at the Ecole normale supérieur (ENS) and at EHESS in winter, at Yale University and at Johns Hopkins University in the fall,
and at the UCI in the spring.
A name and subject index is also available.

Series Scope and Content Summary
This series consists of all material related to Derrida's published work. By far the largest series in the collection, it
contains drafts, notes, photocopies, proofs, and offprints covering almost every work that Derrida has published. It also
contains material for interviews, conferences, international colloquiua, and exhibits, much of which is related to Derrida's
published work. Since much of the material lacks a specific date, and since titles often represent several years of work (for
example, a draft, a few conference versions, proofs, and an offprint), the series is arranged alphabetically by published
title. For the same reasons, folders in this series do not contain inclusive dates.
Any materials that are significantly damaged or fragile have been pulled to restricted files and replaced by library photocopies.
For clarity of page order, pages occasionally have been numbered in pencil in square brackets at the bottom right hand corner.
Original page groupings have been indicated in notes within some folders when that grouping wasn't already apparent and when
Derrida made an effort to single out the pages as a group by, for example, clipping them together or wrapping a page around
the group. Versions of a text are noted when distinguishable; however, the version numbers do not necessarily indicate the
chronological progression of a text. In some instances a chronology was impossible to discern.
Interviews explicitly related to a publication title are filed under the title of the publication; all other interviews are
filed as such. Texts with no definite title and that are related to the Group de Recherches sur l'Enseignement philosophique
(GREPH) are filed under GREPH; other untitled texts are filed under an appropriate title substitute, such as a conference
title. Correspondence related to a title is filed with that title, while correspondence unconnected to any title is filed
alphabetically under "Letter to ...." Note that several of the manuscripts have cards inserted with quotations or other text
to be added to the manuscript. Derrida marked several of these cards with a symbol, and he also marked the manuscript with
the same symbol to indicate where the text on the card belongs in the manuscript.

Audio recordings,
1985-1998.
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
This subseries contains approximately 230 audio cassettes of Derrida's seminars given in Paris at the Ecole des hautes Etudes
et Sciences sociales. Both public seminars and the smaller
seminaires restreintes (restricted seminars) for enrolled students are included in the tapes. No cassettes are available for the period from June
1989-November 1996. The majority of the cassettes were recorded by Makoto Asari and given by him to Derrida. Descriptions
of seminars are transcribed from the labels of the original cassettes, and no further information is available regarding the
titles or topical content of the recorded seminars; some seminar material in Series 2 may correspond to these audio cassette
recordings. All audio cassette recordings are in French. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
Access
Use copies of each audio recording must be made prior to researcher use of the recordings. 48 hours advance
notice is required in order to create use copies, which will then become a permanent part of the collection.

Series 6.
De Man controversy files, 1940-1989 (bulk 1988).
Physical Description:
1.7 linear ft.
Series Scope and Content Summary
This series consists of materials related to Paul de Man's writings from the early 1940s. In 1987, it became known that Paul
de Man had written for
Le Soir, a collaborationist newspaper, from december 1940 to November 1942.
Ortwin de Graef found articles that de Man had written in 1942 for
Het Vlaamsche Land in November 1986 and began finding articles by de Man in
Le Soir a few months later.
Jacques Derrida shared some of these articles in a colloquium at the University of Alabama in October 1987. In November,
Werner Hamacher, Neil Hertz, and Thomas Keenan made plans to publish all of the wartime writing and sent out requests for
critical responses, to be published without editorial intervention. They also made photocopies of de Man's writings available.
Articles about de Man's wartime writings began appearing in newspapers and magazines at the beginning of December 1987.
De Man's writings were published in 1988 as
Wartime Journalism, 1939-1943, and the critical responses were published in 1989 as
Responses: On Paul de Man's Wartime Journalism.
The debate in newspapers and magazines continued into 1989.
The materials include drafts of texts written by de Man; photocopies of the texts published in
Le Soir; drafts of Derrida's essay "Comme le bruit de la mer au fond d'un coquillage...La guerre de Paul de Man";
drafts of responses to de Man's wartime writings, many of which were published in
Responses; correspondence, both public and private; research materials related to the period of Belgian occupation; and photocopies
of
newspaper, magazine, and journal articles that appeared in response to the writings. Several of the drafts of de Man's
essays are annotated, as are some of the articles that respond to the wartime writings. The drafts of articles which respond
to de Man's
writings are often undated, but seem to be from a relatively restricted period of time, largely 1988-1989. In many cases,
they are accompanied by letters. Correspondence includes letters sent to Derrida, as well as letter to the editor sent by
others and letters
sent to colleagues, such as Neil Hertz and Thomas Keenan. The group of materials which document occupied Belgium includes
a text translated by de Man, Gerard Walschap's
Cure d'aspirine (1943). Many of the clippings
and other materials were shared with Derrida by Keenan.
This series is arranged topically in a series of categories: writings by de Man; writings by Derrida; writings by others on
de Man; correspondence; historical accounts of occupied Belgium and contemporary texts; and clippings from newspapers and
magazines.
