Organization
The collection is organized into the following six series: Biographical materials, Correspondence and letters, Writings and
notes, Academic essays and materials, Printed materials, and Photographs. Arrangement within each series is chronological.
Scope and Contents
The Ronyoung Kim and Richard Hahn papers, 1914-2000, consist of biographical materials, correspondence, short stories, poems,
notes, academic essays, school materials, printed articles, newspaper clippings and photographs created and collected by Ronyoung
Kim during her life and Richard S. Hahn after her death.
The majority of the material is comprised of numerous drafts, manuscripts, and two published editions of the novel "Clay Walls",
correspondence to and from publishing houses, editors, and literary agents regarding the publication of "Clay Walls" and other
short stories, as well as the evolution of Kim's writing process. Included among these materials are research notes, drafts
and typescripts of essays (both personal and academic), short stories, poems and plays by Kim as well as writings by other
individuals whom influenced her work.
The collection also includes papers pertaining to Richard Hahn's medical career and Gloria Hahn's academic and museum docent
work, as well as personal correspondence, family photographs, and a small series of biographical materials featuring resumes,
awards, and other personal documents.
Biographical Note
Born Gloria Jane Kim on March 28, 1926 in Los Angeles, Kim was the daughter of Korean immigrants and a Korean American writer;
she married Richard S. Hahn, a heart surgeon, at the age of age 19. The two lived in Belvedere and had four children.
After her children graduated from college, Kim went back to school where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Far Eastern Art
and Culture at San Francisco State University. Additionally, she was a docent at the Asian Museum of Art in San Francisco.
Throughout her life, Kim wrote many poems, short stories and essays. Her first and only novel, "Clay Walls", was the first
major novel focusing on the experiences of Korean immigrants and Korean Americans in the United States. It was published by
Second Chance Press: The Permanent Press in 1987, shortly before her death. Kim passed away on February 3, 1987, at the age
of 60, after a lengthy battle with breast cancer.
Richard Hahn was retired as a thoracic surgeon prior to Kim's death. After her passing, Hahn continued with correspondence
regarding his wife's writings as well as the collecting of articles relating to her life and works. In 1993, he began writing
his own novels; one of these was a sequel to "Clay Walls".

Processing Information
The majority of materials were originally housed in numbered binders. The individual documents were removed from these binders,
placed in folders, and given supplied titles and series by a prior archivist. It also appears some of the photographs were
separated from their respective correspondence and placed in their own folders. Additionally, it is possible the prior Archivist
combined the papers of Richard Hahn with Ronyoung Kim's.
Upon further review by the current archivist, it was noted that although the majority of the materials lacked original order
by the creator(s), some items were initially grouped together chronologically. With this in mind, the collection was then
rearranged chronologically with intellectual and physical order imposed (in the form of reorganizing into more clearly defined
series and folder titles as well as the combining of like materials).
The chronological arrangement of each series shows both the writing process and professional career progression of Ronyoung
Kim, as well as the span of her and Richard Hahn's personal life.
