Papers, 1908-1989.

The Nancy Hale Papers consist of biographical material; correspondence; diaries; photographs; subject files; and extensive notes, drafts, typescripts, publicity, and reviews of many of her speeches and writings. The papers provide significant information about Hale's life and work; her family relationships; the relationships between writers and their agents and editors; the life of a modern professional woman writer; as well as many of the topics that interested Hale, such as creativity, human psychology, the New England character, and faculty politics in educational institutions. The bulk of the papers focus on Hale's writing. Included are manuscript and published versions of many of Hale's works along with research materials and notes. The role of editors and agents in the writing process is well documented, particularly through the correspondence between Hale and her agent Elizabeth Nowell.
