The Robert T. Francoeur papers, 1938-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/227175855

The Robert Francoeur papers consist largely of correspondence and other documents relating in one way or another to the career of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, to the activities of the British and American Teilhard associations, and to various aspects of Francoeur's own interest in Teilhard. The bulk of the correspondence is from George B. Barbour, Jeanne-Marie Mortier, Walter J. Ong, S.J., Dorothy Poulain, and Hugh Van Dusen of Harper & Row publishers. Other correspondents are Catherine Aller, J. Franklin Ewing, D. Wade Safford, Cyril Vollert, S.J., and John V. Walsh. The collection also contains one letter (1938) from Teilhard to Lucile Swan. The materials relating to the American Teilhard Association are supplemented by issues 3-9 of its newsletter. In addition to a large assemblage of photocopied articles and reviews by Francoeur and others, the collection includes a copy of 'The sacred and salvation', a doctoral dissertation by Thomas Kramlinger, 'There shall be one Christ : a collection of essays on Teilhard de Chardin' edited by Michael D. Meilach, 3 copies of 'A basic Teilhard bibliography' compiled by Almagno Romano, and a long run of 'The Teilhard review' (vol 2, no. 2-vol. 10, no. 3).
