Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Peggy Pond Church papers consist of literary manuscripts including House at Otowi Bridge and Ultimatum for Man, correspondence, published materials and poetic draft notes. The collection is roughly divided into two sections; that of Peggy Pond Church's research materials and original work, and a collection of Mary Austin's books used for research by Church. The collection is not organized in chronological order but rather to suit the idiosyncrasies of Peggy Pond Church's work methods.
Correspondence, manuscripts, drafts and editorial correspondence are often intermixed with personal letters and researched topics emphasizing the high degree of Church's creative writing style. The bulk of miscellaneous material often is punctuated with personal and somewhat illegible notes which appear to surface as rough drafts and eventually complete published poetry.
Additional materials were added to the collection in July 2003. This consists almost entirely of annotated publications.
Another addition was processed in August 2016. Included in the addition are biographical, autobiographical and family materials, documentaiton of literary activities, correspondence (mostly to Peggy Pond Church), and reference files.
Photographs from the collection are housed in CSWR Photoarchives.
