Letters written by Malin [microform], 1919-1976.

Copies of letters James Malin sent, most of them during his career as a history professor at the University of Kansas (Lawrence), 1921-63. Most of the letters were to other historians, but others went to editors & publishers; relatives of research subjects; employees of the Kansas State Historical Society; and family members, including his uncle James F. Malin, a member of the Kansas Legislature. The letters discussed research projects; books & articles; and a wide variety of topics in United States, Kansas, & agricultural history & economics. Much of the correspondence with the Kansas State Historical Society pertained to submitted articles he reviewed and edited for The Kansas historical quarterly. A number of letters were to former graduate students holding faculty positions, and some were to colleagues at other universities inquiring about positions for students.
