Scope and content
Records in this series do not belong to the Putnam Fonds. Most were created by Bill Irving, a former student of Putnam’s, in the course of his research and writing on Putnam. They include: an early draft and published copy of his article; original tapes and related notes of his interview of Dr. Lyman Chapman in 1984; notes relating to Putnam’s diaries; and correspondence between Irving and Putnam’s colleagues with the hopes seeking out further Putnam correspondence.
This series also includes an Honours paper on Putnam written by geography student, Steve Charbonneau. Included is a good bibliography of Putnam’s works as well as a compiled chronology of his accomplishments. According to many of the footnotes Charbonneau interviewed several of Putnam’s colleagues and students in the course of his research.
