Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection consists primarily of Gendron Jensen's personal and professional correspondence, notes, projects, and related publications. Many of his letters, retrieved from the original recipients, are outsized and illustrated. Jensen arranged and organized his own archive, and most of the folders are labeled in his own hand. The letters and business documents contain details of his career struggles as well as insights into his emotional and spiritual development as an artist and a human.
An annotated partial inventory created by Jensen is included in the “Letters and Correspondence” series. Especially useful are his commentaries and key to abbreviations that identify his relationship with his correspondents. His preface reads, "To Whomever it does concern: Humbly so, I deem the repository of my records encompassed by this finding file to be a journey of my soul. The pages of outline are meant to further elucidate inquirers, as much clarity as can be applied. .… As it occurred, my labor of well over eight months organizing everything was attended by sundry emotions in doing so...NOTA BENE: This finding file was completed at 5:25pm, MST, NOV 6-2013."
