BOX 1-12 Anna Sokolow, 1903-2003
Clippings, correspondence, interview transcripts, notes, photographs, programs, scrapbooks, and writings collected or created by Larry Warren while researching his biography, Anna Sokolow: The Rebellious Spirit (1991) and its subsequent edition.
Organized as five subseries.
BOX 1-5 Chronological Files, circa 1915-2001
Warren grouped his research for Rebellious Spirit into a series of chronological files. These files consist primarily of clippings, but also include longer articles, correspondence, notes, programs, and other ephemera related to Sokolow's life and career. Warren organized materials according to Sokolow's chronology, and the dates on the folders reflect the timeframe of the subject matter, not necessarily the date of the materials. For example, a letter from the 1980s referring to Sokolow's childhood is filed under the years corresponding to her early life.
Materials are organized chronologically.
