Series 9. Working files/Research, circa 1948-2000s
- Identifier:
- 2102479
- Dates:
- circa 1948-2000s
- Scope and content:
-
This series consists of the working files of Benoit Mandelbrot. Included are miscellaneous drafts and partial drafts of articles (sometimes with edits and annotations), newspaper and magazine clippings, reprints and photocopies of articles by others, handwritten notes and correspondence.
This series provides unique insight into the work habits of Mandelbrot -- from the state and nature of his papers and how they were stored, we can infer that he would often work on a number of manuscript drafts at a time, and intersperse clippings, correspondence and other material between unrelated drafts from around the same time period.
This series is arranged chronologically.
