Correspondence, notes, notebooks, note card files, clippings and photographs of Louis Morris Starr. One half of the collection consists of his research files for his dissertation"Bohemian Brigade; Civil War Newsmen in Action." (New York, Knopf, 1954). The other half contains photocopies of original Joseph Pulitzer letters and manuscripts in the Pulitzer and "The New York World" Papers at Columbia as well as Pulitzer items from other repositories. In addition there are typescript transcripts of Pulitzer's Pitman shorthand notebooks in Columbia collections. The photocopies and transcripts are annotated by Starr in preparation for a major biography he planned to write on Joseph Pulitzer.
