Physical Description: 4.0 boxes Arranged alphabetically. Most of the files in this series were organized and titled by Kaplan himself; however, they arrived in no discernible order and were arranged alphabetically so that they might be searchable. The processor created files in instances where a clear subject could be gleaned from the documents. Contents of files created by Kaplan were in no way disturbed, separated, or otherwise altered. Box 1: Academic — Groups Box 2: Hist. Esthetics — Lectures-Zionism Box 3: Literary Criticism — Probability Box 4: Professional Correspondence — Zen

Language of Material: English

Physical Description: 4.0 boxes Arranged alphabetically by title. This series is of Kaplan’s writings: handwritten and word-processed; published and unpublished; finished and unfinished; submitted to many publishers or to none at all. Most of the typewritten works arrived in mass quantities; three copies of each were accessioned and the rest were reserved for donation or other possible uses. The documents were arranged into alphabetical order for ease in finding a work by title. In some cases Kaplan kept files accompanying his works, whether they were research or rejection notices. These files are placed before their corresponding manuscripts in the collection. As in the Subject File Series, many manuscripts arrived arranged in files by Kaplan, and were not necessarily arranged by specific title. In some instances, files are titled by the subject of the manuscript and not by the title of the work. Rather than disturb the files created by Kaplan, they were arranged alphabetically by the title that he gave them. All other files are arranged by the title of the manuscript. Box 5: Aesop Revisited — Freedom and Terror Box 6: Freedom and Terror — Management MSS & WPI Box 7: Management and the Metaphysics of Culture — Pardon the Expression Box 8: Pardon the Expression — Values in Decision-Making
