Manuscripts
The Manuscripts series is arranged alphabetically by author and title. The manuscripts include a selection of Silverberg's literary works, mostly dating from 1973-1995. Included in this series are: novels, anthologies, short stories, novellas, essays, articles, book reviews, interviews, pilot scripts, galley proofs, page proofs, and confirmation proofs. Most of the manuscripts in this series are typed and appear to be close too, if not, the final revision. Some of Silverberg's works found within this series include: Born with the dead, Capricorn games, Galactic dreamers, Gilgamesh the king, How they pass the time in Pelpel, The Nebula awards, New dimensions 2, 6, 7, and 8, Nightwings, Revolt on Alpha C, Sundance and other science fiction stories, and Time gate volume two: Dangerous interfaces. This series also includes manuscripts by other authors, most notably Isaac Asimov, A.A. Attanasio, Gregory Benford, Orson Scott Card, C.J. Cherryh, Ellen Datlow, Tom DeHaven, Samuel R. Delany, Gordon R. Dickson, L. Ron Hubbard, Wolfgang Jeschke, Marc Laidlaw, H.P. Lovecraft, Janet Morris, Larry Niven, Kim Stanley Robinson, Charles Sheffield, S.P. Somtow, Bruce Sterling, Theodore Sturgeon, Harry Turtledove, Jack Vance, and Dave Wolverton. There is also a biography of Philip K. Dick and a copy of his last interview. Some of the manuscripts are too large to be stored with this series and have been placed in oversize boxes 80-89.
