Holograph and typescript manuscripts, diaries, and publisher's correspondence comprise the majority of the Graham Greene Collection, 1924-1998. The Works series contains typescripts and page proofs for most of Greene's major works. Holograph manuscripts are also available for several works including A Burnt-Out Case, Cheap in August, The Comedians, The Honorary Consul, and Our Man in Havana. Many of the novels are also present in screenplay form or edited for different editions. England Made Me, Travels with My Aunt, The Human Factor, and Our Man in Havana are particularly well represented. The Personal Papers, Journals and Date Books series contains six notebooks Greene used over many years to record his dreams, as well as some 74 small spiral date books with appointments and notes jotted in them. The Correspondence series is largely composed of personal letters written by Greene as well as a few letters to Greene and a small amount of third-party correspondence. Perhaps most interesting are letters written by Greene to Vivienne Dayrell-Browning between 1925 and 1927 during their courtship. The Laurence Pollinger General Correspondence Files series is composed of the files kept by Greene's long time publisher Laurence Pollinger. Generally the letters in this series are requests for publication, stage, or film use of various of Greene's works. Regular status lists of the state of rights for various materials are also included in the files. The Laurence Pollinger Copyright Files series holds records of contract negotions for rights for use of Greene's works and is arranged by media type.
