Writings File, 1928-2023 (continued)
BOX 120-231 Book File, 1928-2023
The Book File documents the process by which Mallon’s books went from idea to publication. The files for each book often include pitches, outlines, research material, drafts, and proofs. The administrative functions of book publication are also documented through correspondence with agents and publishers, contracts, residual statements, and files regarding publicity and book tours. The research files for Mallon's historical books are extensive and document the relationships he cultivated with the living subjects of his works, including astronaut Scott Carpenter and his family members (Aurora 7) and Ruth Paine (Mrs. Paine’s Garage and the Murder of John F. Kennedy). Mallon's relationship with former Vice President Dan Quayle while ghostwriting Quayle’s memoir, Standing Firm, is also represented in the series.
Material types include correspondence, outlines, drafts, proofs, clippings, photographs, and copies of historical documents. One set of photographs and one research interview are available in digital formats.
Arranged alphabetically by book title, then by topic or material type. The file structure of the digital content maintained as received.
