Mark Twain Special Projects Files Series, 1964-1996, bulk 1980-1990
- Scope and content:
-
Houses documents pertaining to the administration and governance of the Mark Twain Project, based at the University of California at Berkeley. One of the objectives of the Mark Twain Project is to publish definitive and scholarly editions of Twain's writings, including material that has hitherto remained unpublished. To this end, Branch spent several summers and sabbaticals working at the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, where the vast majority of Mark Twain's papers are held, working on such editions as Early Tales and Sketches, Volumes 1 and 2 and Roughing It. The bulk of the documents in this series pertain to Branch's service on the Board of Directors for the Mark Twain Project from 1980 to 1990. In particular, there are several National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant applications included in this series. There are also folders of materials that concern a controversy arising over editorial and procedural policies of the Mark Twain Project. Arranged in chronological order.
