Series I: Correspondence, 1965-2013
- Scope and content:
-
Denis Kitchen kept two sets of correspondence files, primary correspondence and secondary correspondence, based upon the importance of the correspondence file to his business. This being the case, there may be files related to a single person in both sets of correspondence files.
The correspondence files function as correspondence, subject, and business files, and contain not only correspondence but also biographical information, contracts, copyright information, ephemera, , notes on telephone conversations, obituaries, payment information, printed materials, proposals, and royalty statements. Many files also include examples of artwork represented by published comics, copies of both published and unpublished work, and items drawn on the pages of correspondence.
