Administrative Subject Files - Director Correspondence: Vogel, Virgil, [n.d.], 1970-1981
Scope and Contents note
Series includes minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Stockholders, proxies, general correspondence to and from directors of the company, materials relating to office keeping, forms, and ephemera. Incoming correspondence to the company consists of customer requests for catalogs, review copies, and inquiries about the books. It is interesting to note that a good portion of requests for free books came from people who were incarcerated, and on occasion the company did send free copies of books. At the end of this series there are substantial files of printed material from other organizations, some of which are fellow publishers, but the majority of which are labor organizations or independent organizations devoted to radical or progressive causes (such as the Socialist Party and the Proletarian Party).
