    Series I. Correspondence

    Rare Books

    The series contains correspondence between Sanford Berger and many prominent people in Morrisian scholarly, academic, special collections libraries, book trade and museum circles in the United States and England during the period ranging mainly from the mid-1960s to the late 1990s. The correspondence includes incoming letters, as well as photocopies and/or manuscript drafts of outgoing letters. Also included are book sales catalogues, invoices, museum catalogues, newsletters, research notes, photographs, fine press keepsake publications, greeting cards, speech and lecture notes and texts, association and club-related correspondence, clippings, thank you letters, and miscellaneous ephemera. Much of the material in the correspondence series is described at the item level in an appendix available from the Rare Books Department as an electronic document. However, the appendix was assembled during the early surveying of the entire Berger collection and may list some items that were not originally part of the correspondence files and are now included in other series.
