Works, projects, and research materials
Manuscripts
Will Alexander's written works, artwork, and collaborative projects: primarily typescript drafts or copies of typescripts, printed proofs, and handwritten drafts. Many of the typescripts and printed drafts include handwritten notes and corrections. There are several large envelopes and paper bags which Alexander used for handwritten notes. Materials related to the same work may be in different boxes. This series also includes reviews of Alexander's work, reviews by him of others' work, and working files with teaching materials, conference logistics, CVs, and other documentation. Interspersed throughout are Alexander's research materials, usually printouts of articles and information from the internet that influenced and inspired his writing. Boxes 10-12, and most of box 24 consist entirely of research materials. Box 33 consists of works by writers and artists who were friends and collaborators of Alexander, and include several items inscribed to him. Alexander's artwork (box 25 and 26) consists of abstract drawings, primarily pen and ink or colored pencil. Most are either 8.5 x 11 inches or 11 x 14 inches. Drawings are both loose and bound in notebooks, and some are related to his writing. Box 3 also includes a few drawings. There is a small amount of professional correspondence and biographical material also interspersed with the works, which is noted in the individual boxes. Box 5 includes the bulk of the correspondence; box 8 includes Sotère Torregian signed poems and correspondence, and box 21 includes outgoing correspondence drafts as well as incoming correspondence with publishers, colleagues, and collaborators. Some personal correspondence is in box 28.
