Manuscripts
Harvey Taylor File
- Description
The Harvey Taylor File documents the relationship between Harvey Taylor (who for a time was bibliographer, then supposed agent for the London estate) and Charmian London. The two-box file consists entirely of letters, mostly between Charmian Kittredge London and Harvey Taylor. A few letters from Eliza Shepard are also included.
At the request of the Jack London estate, the Harvey Taylor files (Boxes 435-436) were restricted until the death of Harvey Taylor; they were opened for research on March 30, 1993.

- Provenance
- The nucleus of the collection was purchased by Henry Huntington from Charmian London in 1925. Additional groups of material were acquired by both gift and purchase from Mrs. London and later from literary executors Irving Shepard and I. Milo Shepard over many years. Further material has been acquired from other sources; the provenance of these items is noted on the individual folders.
