The papers of Ralph Ellison span the years 1890-1996 with the bulk of the items concentrated in the period 1933-1990. The
collection documenting Ellison's career as author and educator includes nine series: Family Papers; General Correspondence; Organizations File; Writings File; Speeches, Lectures, and Interviews; Reference File; Miscellany; Closed; and Oversize.
The Family Papers contain personal material pertaining to Ellison, his wife, Fanny McConnell Ellison, and their parents, siblings, former spouses,
and other relatives. A substantial file relating to Ellison's employment includes material from his many teaching appointments.
Of particular interest are the notes and reports he compiled for the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration
(WPA). Fanny Ellison's employment papers document her work for the American Medical Center for Burma through the Harold L.
Oram agency and her contribution as one of the founders of the Negro People's Theatre in Chicago. Also noteworthy are her
drawings pertaining to the history of costume executed as a WPA project for the Chicago Board of Education. Household papers
contain material on the Ellisons' property in New York, Key West, Florida, and Plainfield, Massachusetts. The latter includes
insurance records of the fire which destroyed the first drafts of Ellison's unpublished Hickman novel. Other material in
the family papers consists of biographical information, financial, legal, and medical records, school and military records,
newspaper and magazine articles about Ellison, travel documents, notes, and printed matter.
The General Correspondence series contains Ralph and Fanny Ellison's incoming and outgoing letters to friends and business associates. Correspondents
include institutions and businesses as well as individuals. Chief among them are Saul Bellow, John Cheever, John Ciardi,
Kenneth B. Clark, William Dawson, Paul Engle, Langston Hughes, Stanley Edgar Hyman, Shirley Jackson, Albert Murray, Robert
Penn Warren, and Richard Wright. Several of Ellison's letters to friends and acquaintances such as Harry Brooks, Harold Calicutt,
and Henry B. O. Davis contain reminiscences of his childhood, college years, and early adulthood.
The Organizations File concerns a wide range of cultural, educational, and charitable institutions in which Ellison participated as an officer,
advisor, or trustee. For example, he served on the governing boards of Bennington College, the Carnegie Commission on Educational
Television, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the Museum of the City of New York, the New School for Social Research, and
Wake Forest University. Material in the file consists primarily of correspondence and reports.
The Writings File contains drafts, notes, and production material for Ellison's literary works. The material in an essays and essay collections
file, arranged alphabetically by title, appeared as journal articles or chapters published in compilations by others. Material
pertaining to Ellison's own collections, Shadow and Act and Going to the Territory, is also included in this section. Many of his essays were reworked and republished several times. Ellison also wrote poetry,
reviews of books, films, and recordings, short stories, and forewords, introductions, and endorsements for literary works
of others. There is evidence that Ellison wrote book reviews in the 1940s under the pseudonym David Wilson. An incomplete
draft of his memoirs also contains notes and outlines. Dates in parentheses in the container list refer to the publication
date; other dates refer to the creation and span of the material in the folder.
Material relating to Ellison's novels makes up the bulk of the Writings File. In order to show Ellison's approach to writing,
his system of filing drafts alphabetically by title of episode rather than final story sequence has been maintained. Quotation
marks are used to indicate episode titles devised by Ellison. A section relating to Invisible Man includes production material, publicity items, reviews, opera and film proposals, correspondence with publishers regarding
various editions, foreign rights and translations, and the comments and criticism of others. A miscellany section in the
Writings File contains bibliographies and literary criticisms of Ellison's works, plot ideas, notes, royalty statements, and
information regarding copyrights, permissions, and reprints.
The Speeches, Lectures, and Interviews series demonstrates Ellison's popularity as a speaker at special events, club meetings, and university seminars. His customary
subjects were literary, but also included music and art. During his fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, Ellison lectured
at several European seminars. Ellison also held numerous teaching positions ranging from one semester as a visiting professor
to appointments lasting for several years. Courses included the contemporary American novel and Russian literature. He was
frequently interviewed for radio programs, magazines, and newspapers. Among his interviewers were Michael S. Harper, Irving
Howe, and Robert Penn Warren. The three sections of this series, containing texts, correspondence, notes, and printed matter,
are arranged chronologically.
The Reference File includes newspaper and magazine articles and other printed matter on subjects ranging from music, art, and literature to
sports, politics, and civil rights. A large biographical section includes material on individuals whom Ellison either knew
or considered interesting.
The Miscellany series contains address books, appointment calendars, invitations, programs, and ephemera. Also included are papers relating
to the awards, citations, and honorary degrees awarded to Ellison. The Closed series consists primarily of correspondence, writings, and drawings which are too fragile for handling. Photocopies of each
item have been placed where the original would have appeared in the collection. Material too large for the document boxes
has been moved to the Oversize series.
The collection is arranged in nine series:
-
Family Papers, 1890-1996, n.d.
-
General Correspondence, 1930-1996, n.d.
-
