James B. Pinker Papers 1900-1934

http://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/catalog/inu-ead-spec-archon-1409

The papers in the Pinker archive at Northwestern University cover the period 1904-1934. All the correspondence is incoming to J.B. Pinker either from clients or from the organizations, firms, and individuals with whom he, and later his sons, negotiated. The 111 boxes of the archive contain original client correspondence files and many files from publishers, periodicals, translators, printing firms, readers, illustrators, theatre managers, etc. as well as other literary and dramatic agents with whom the Pinkers dealt. The correspondence reflects the wide geographical range of the clients: from Britain, America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, India, and South Africa, as well as from European countries. The alphabetical files also include some general correspondence: inquiries as to Pinker's availability and fees, permission requests for quoting, performances of plays, translations, serialization in foreign periodicals, and for securing various rights to clients' works. Invoices, both professional and personal, and other miscellany are included here.
