Scope and Content Note

The series consists of files Paul Carter Harrison kept on subjects of personal and professional interest, project development, and university duties from 1967-2012.

Project and grant proposal files pertain to the projects Harrison and others developed relating to production of his plays and other black theatre projects; these files contain correspondence, descriptions of projects, and grant applications and associated material. Teaching files contain syllabi and course notes, correspondence, printed material, administrative documents, recommendation letters, and student writings (excepting dissertations, which can be found in Series 2.2: Writings by Others).
