Scope and content

Series includes records capturing the research and writing that Mario and Maria Elena Valdés pursued independently, in addition to their work as collaborators. Joint projects include some of the writings of Miguel de Unamuno and the Literary History Project. Material includes draft manuscripts, publishing correspondence, including editorial coordination with authors, travel and research planning, and some publishing contracts. Two files contain original records written by Unamuno contextualized by the two scholars (see B2023-0007/002(04)-(05)).
