Series I: Manuscripts, 1995-2012

This series contains manuscripts, proofs, and galleys, with related material such as corrections lists and correspondence. Ferré kept additional files of notes and related professional files, and these are filed either in Series III: Correspondence and Professional Files or Series IV: Journals, Notes, and Notebooks, respectively.

The alphanumeric filling system appears to be Ferré's, but there is no key to the system in her papers. For manuscripts, it appears the first letter is a unique letter assigned to that work, for example, P for House on the Lagoon – as these letters seem to correspond to related materials in Ferré's professional files. The second letter is either M for manuscript/manuscrito or G for galley, and the third letter, when used, is either I for Inglés (English) or E for Español (Spanish), and in one case O (possibly for Otro (Other), as the galley is in Italian). These letters are followed by a number, apparently designating the version.

There are additional manuscripts in Series III: Correspondence and Professional Files, particularly for articles, essays, and poetry, and in digital form in Series VII: Digital Media.
