http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25610225

Correspondence, writings, photographs, and other material documenting the life of Frederick Henry Koch from his years as an undergraduate at Ohio Wesleyan University until his death. The bulk of the collection, particularly the correspondence, deals with his personal and family life. Especially notable is a series of long letters, ca. 1897- 1917, to Koch from his father, August Wilhelm Koch, concerning family matters and life in Peoria, Ill. Correspondence after 1944 is chiefly addressed to Koch's niece, Adeline Denham McCall, and documents the lives of Koch's wife, Jean Hanigan Koch, and four sons after his death. Also included are personal and professional correspondence with literary agents, publishers, other dramatists, and University of North Carolina faculty and officers; newspaper articles and pamphlets Koch wrote about the theater; notes about play production; some information about Koch's involvement with the American Pageant Association; class-records from the University of North Carolina; and diaries from Koch's student years. The activities of the Carolina Playmakers are primarily represented by photographs and copies of prompt books for plays written by students.
