Walter J. Ong manuscript collection, 1912-2008.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/761207555

The Walter J. Ong Manuscript Collection documents the thought and work of one of the most important intellectuals and scholars of the 20th century. In this collection, one will find Father Ong's scholarship, academic files, personal correspondence, class and lecture notes, research materials, and other related items. Included in the collection are such items as a number of Ong's unpublished articles and lectures, library cards from libraries he used around the world, souvenirs from his trip to the 1929 Boy Scout World Jamboree, and correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues. A detailed scope and content note for each of the series is available in the collection finding aid. The first three series in the collection, Scholarship, General Files, and Index Card and Ephemera Files, will probably be of the most interest to research scholars. In addition to being a meticulously organized person, Father Ong was very much aware that he was recognized as an outstanding scholar with an international reputation, and he believed that other scholars would be interested in reviewing and studying the material he produced or collected throughout his career. The contents of this collection, and the way that it is arranged, reflects this organization and self awareness.
