Simon Karlinsky papers, 1924-2007

Correspondence, 1949-2007

Scope and content:

Correspondence is in English, Russian, German, French, and Polish. Correspondents include other gay authors, artists, and composers. Letters were arranged alphabetically by name; first names were used when last names were unknown. When correspondents could not be unidentified, letters were arranged chronologically, and sorted by language. Letters in English, German, and French were grouped together, and letters in Russian and Polish were combined. Karlinsky also kept files of correspondence about particular subjects. These were arranged alphabetically by topic. These files may contain writings, conference materials, and administrative records. Correspondents may appear in both the alphabetical and chronological files, and correspondence can be found in other series.
