Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The papers of Jack and Charmian Kittredge London comprise MSS Collection 10 in Utah State University's Division of Special Collections and Archives. The papers, generous gifts from the London Estate, were accessioned into four major groups in 1964, 1966, 1967, and 1971. Largely comprising the correspondence of the London's and their associates, this collection also contains 6 boxes of manuscript materials including: short stories, articles, diaries, financial records, etc. belonging to Jack London.

For convenience, the papers have been divided into eight sections -- most being either correspondence received or sent by London, Mrs. London, or one of the other principals in their careers. Within each section, whether correspondence or other manuscript form, the items are arranged alphabetically by name and chronologically within each name. The collection thus, unfortunately, lacks date-access* except through name; but it is hoped that complete listing and many "see references" will make this register more useful to researchers in Modern American letters.

The register is marked to indicate the original collection from which copies were made for Utah State University.

From the Collection:
  1. * Huntington Library (San Marino, California).
  2. # London Ranch (Glen Ellen, California).
  3. + University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Va.).
  4. ^ Yale University (New Haven, Conn.).
  5. XX Wagner College (Staten Island, N.Y.).
From the Collection:

In addition, the bulk of the two-way Macmillan Company correspondence was obtained directly from the company. Since then the originals have been deposited with the manuscript collections of the New York Public Library. There are, in addition, some photocopies, the provenance of which cannot be determined at this time. They were deposited with Utah State University by King Hendricks, co-editor of Letters from Jack London (New York, The Odyssey Press, 1965). Their origins, no doubt, may be found in the acknowledgements on pages viii and ix of that book.

Includes about 3000 photocopies of correspondence as part of the collection.
