The Papers of Wilfrid S. Sellars reflect the working life of a professional philosopher of science. Focusing on his professional pursuits in researching, writing and teaching from the 1930s through 1987, these files consist of books, correspondence, contracts, course materials, financial records, manuscripts, notes, photographs, publications, and reports. Especially significant are the manuscripts, which range from notes and working drafts in Sellars's own hand to the published articles. Although smaller than the other series, the first series provides researchers with records pertaining to the more personal aspects of Sellars's life. The second, fifth and sixth series document the various stages of researching, writing, and editing of manuscripts employed by Sellars. The third series emphasizes Sellars's academic duties as a philosophy professor from 1938 to 1987. The fourth series highlights Sellars's contributions to the philosophy community as an editor, consultant, and lecturer, which compliment his duties as an author and professor. The seventh series documents the career of Sellars's father, Roy Wood Sellars, which is included because of the close personal and professional interactions between them.
