Publications, 1931-1993

Scope and content:

The Publications series contains many of the articles, reviews, and books that La Barre wrote during his long career. In addition to the final, published versions, La Barre often kept early drafts, correspondence with publishers, edited manuscripts, and notes. The series begins with a list of publications compiled in 1992, and follows with three folders of book reviews and other short publications. The Publications series is then divided into two main subseries: Articles and Books. La Barre published frequently throughout his career. His articles were published in scholarly publications as well as the popular press. La Barre frequently kept notes, drafts, editorial comments, correspondence, and these have been retained. Articles are arranged in chronological order. The second subseries, Books, is arranged in alphabetical order because many of La Barre's books were revised and reprinted over a period of years. The Books subseries contains published editions in addition to drafts, edited manuscripts, and correspondence. In most of the published editions, La Barre meticulously recorded positive reviews and compliments about the books given to him by colleagues.

At some point, La Barre re-read his papers and annotated some folders and, in some cases, individual items with his summaries and comments on their contents. It is unclear exactly when these annotations were made. Because the folder annotations contained much information but were physically deteriorating, photocopies of LaBarre's folder comments have been made and inserted in the front of the corresponding folders.
