Letters written by Malin

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. There were also many letters relating to publication of Malin's manuscripts.
