Scope and content
This is an extensive series, which documents Dr. Hogg's publishing activities. Since many of her published articles were addresses delivered at symposiums or reports made to professional committees, addresses and talks have also been included in this series. The files, usually titled by the name of the article, book or publisher contain not only manuscripts and drafts but related correspondence, notes, memos and outlines.
The arrangement of this series is as follows, starting from general articles to the specific endeavour
- Bibliographies and lists of publications
- General articles, addresses, contributions to encyclopedias
- Obituaries
- Academic Papers on Star Clusters
- Bibliography and Catalogue of Star Clusters
- Contributions to "Out of Old Books"
- "The Stars Belong to Everyone"
- Toronto Star Column
- Miscellaneous Writings
- Reprints
Records in this series document both Dr. Hogg's stature as an authority on variable stars and star clusters as well as her role as a teacher of popular astronomy. Draft articles and related notes and correspondence on numerous scientific papers as well as files documenting her contribution to encyclopedias and handbooks reflect both of these roles.
Notably, her work on various editions of "A Catalogue of Variable Stars in Globular Clusters" (1st ed. 1939, 2nd ed. 1955, 3rd. ed. 1973 and 4th incomplete), as well as her time spent on "A Bibliography of Individual Globular Clusters" (1947, 1st supplement 1963) is extensively documented through drafts, research data, original manuscripts. These records relate specifically to the card index found in Series IV, Star Cluster Files and Index Cards.
