Robert Ormond Case papers, 1926-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53810839

Collection consists of correspondence, documents, literary manuscripts, and published works. Of particular value is the quantity of both professional and personal correspondence from much of his mature life, and documents pertaining to his career, private life, and health. These include letters to and from family and friends, correspondence to and from his agents and lawyers, and communications with publishers. Also included are documents and correspondence pertaining to his divorce from his first wife and papers dealing with persistent medical problems during the last years of his life. There is very little material dealing with the author's youth and education directly. One searching for information on his years at the University of Oregon would have to rely on very few incidental recollections in papers of much later years. The majority of the materials date from the mid-1930s on, with most of the family correspondence dating from the 1950s to the end of Case's life.
