Penn Special Collections-Mumford Register 10

View Series III. Correspondence: Restricted Files

Series IV. Writings: Books and Pamphlets

49 boxes.

Mumford was an extra-ordinarily efficient and organized writer. He read extensively in preparation for his subject, made copious notes on small sheets of paper about his research materials and ideas, and put his ideas to paper with relatively few revisions and changes to his completed typescript.

This series contains typescripts, manuscripts, notes, proofs, complete pamphlets, review clippings, and many varieties of research materials. All titles in this series represent completed works, and all but one, The Passage Back: Letters to Germany, were published. Elmer Newman's Lewis Mumford: A Bibliography was used as a guide to which pamphlets should be classified with books and which as articles. There are copies of most of Mumford's pamphlets in the Papers.

The Lewis Mumford Papers do not contain working materials for all of his books: the Mumfords discarded some materials before sending the collection to Philadelphia; other items were probably discarded at various times in the past. A typescript for The Golden Day can be found at Dartmouth College; otherwise, we must assume that book materials not in this collection no longer exist.

The quantity of material for any given work in the series ranges from a single review clipping to several boxes of proofs, typescripts, notes, research materials, etc. The book and pamphlet titles are arranged chronologically by publication date and not alphabetically by title. The filing order within a particular project, however, strictly maintains the following order: proofs, typescripts, notes, research materials, review clippings, and publicity materials.
