Writings 1960-2003

Scope and Contents note

The Writings series contains interview transcripts, notes, background research, drafts, and published copies of Robinson's books It's My Party: A Republican's Messy Love Affair with the GOP and How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life. The series documents Robinson's writing process from proposal through research, conducting interviews, writing drafts, editing, and publication. The series is divided into two subseries, one for each book project. Original order was maintained in the files within each subseries. Of particular note are the transcripts of interviews Robinson conducted for each book, as they include prominent figures in the Republican party in the 1980s and 1990s.
