Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection documents Richard Etulain’s prolific career as an educator, historian and writer and also provides resources to study the methods and processes of researching, writing, reviewing, publishing, editing, critiquing and teaching Western literature and history. The bulk of the material in this collection relates primarily to Etulain’s research and writing for his publication projects. The collection also contains material related to his education (undergraduate: 1955-1960; graduate: 1960-1966) and teaching career.
The collection is organized into five series:
Biographical series includes material related to Etulain's family and general career highlights including photos, newspaper clippings, and resumes.
Research & Publications series is arranged alphabetically and includes topical research files and correspondence related to publication projects and for essays and oral presentations. Also included is material related to special projects with history and literature oriented organizations and institutions. This series contains many annotated draft manuscripts by Etulain and others, some of which eventually became published books. Research files include facsimiles of historical documents and articles, many which are obscure and not readily accessible. Prominent research themes include the American West (history and literature), Basque culture, historiography, and regionalism.
Education series includes topical files Etulain collected and created as a college student and teaching assistant along with materials he used for teaching college courses. Materials include research notes, syllabi, tests, reading lists, and handwritten lectures. This series also contains material from his teaching career and involvement with educational projects.
Book Reviews written by Etulain illuminate his attitudes toward ideas and publications in western history and literature. A small component of reviews of Etulain’s works, written by others is interspersed in these files.
Correspondence series contains letters to and from Etulain related to his many publication projects and relationships with other writers, friends, colleagues, scholars, educational institutions, historical and literary organizations and publishers. Etulain served as president of the Western Literature Association (1978-1979) and the Western History Association (1998-1999) and in that capacity, he corresponded with important literary and historical scholars specializing in the history and culture of the West.
