Correspondence/People and Organization Files
1971-1999
Physical Description: Carton 3, folder 40-44; Cartons 4-10; Carton 11, folders 1-18
Scope and Content Note
Incoming and outgoing correspondence. Some correspondence was arranged alphabetically, by person or organization/company,
and some was arranged chronologically; this arrangement was maintained. People files may include research and secondary source
materials, and there may be overlap with reader and book files in Series 3. Organization files may include some vendors, issues
of publications, and Bogus's writings. Because Bogus was editor-in-chief and publisher of Woman in the Moon Publications (WIM),
there is significant overlap between WIM correspondence and Bogus' professional correspondence. This is particular true for
the correspondence that was arranged chronologically. Bogus' personal correspondence also often pertained to her work at WIM.
It is arranged alphabetically and filed at the end of the series.
