The Works series is composed of original works by Georges Hugnet. Included in this series is the handwritten manuscript for Non vouloir, one of the earliest French Resistance publications, published in 1940. Letters written by Hugnet in Series II. are dominated by those to Germaine (Pied) Hugnet, his first wife. The Recipient series forms the bulk of the papers and includes letters from Paul Éluard, Marcelle Ferry, Valentine Hugo, Man Ray, Virgil Thomson, and Alice Toklas and richly demonstrates the friendships and business acquaintances of George Hugnet. The final series, Other Papers, contains artwork, building plans, personal documents, printed materials, and documents written by other individuals, either as works or correspondence that are included in the George Hugnet papers.
