Series II. Correspondence, 1938-2000 (bulk 1938-1990)

This series contains an inseparable mix of personal and professional correspondence, as many of French's professional contacts were also her friends; most letters relate to French's research and publications on early American bookbinding. Files are arranged alphabetically by individual's last name or title of institution. Files include both letters to and from French. Correspondence has been kept together with any enclosures, which include rubbings of bindings, drafts and publications, and photographs.
