Charlton Ogburn papers, 1898-1994.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173863112

The Charlton Ogburn papers document the literary and professional life of Charlton Ogburn, Jr., and also include papers on his father, Charlton Ogburn, Sr. and his mother, Dorothy (Stevens) Ogburn. The entire collection spans the years from 1917 to 1992 but the bulk of the material covers the thirty years from 1945 to 1975. The strength of this collection rests on the meticulous records by both Charlton Ogburn Jr. and his parents concerning their quest for the "true" identity of William Shakespeare. The collection also includes material related to Ogburn's work in foreign affairs, writings, correspondence, and family papers.
