Work on Husserl Subseries 1_3_
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 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.
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.
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.

Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains all the video and audio tapes in the collection. The majority of
the tapes are of seminars, but some document conferences, discussions, films and
television shows featuring Derrida, and unaired material cut from aired productions. The
series has been divided into two subseries.
Access
Access to original audio and video cassettes is restricted; copies are made for
researcher use.
Audio recordings Subseries 4_1_
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. Contact Special Collections and
Archives for further information.
