Roger Hayward Papers, 1899-2007

1. Individual and Organizational Correspondence. 1925, 1930-1933, 1937, 1941-1979, 2004.

The breadth of the Individual and Organizational Correspondence series is reflective of Hayward's many interests and associations. Of particular note are the three boxes of communications with Clair L. "Red" Stong and the multiple John D. Strong correspondence files. Exchanges with Linus Pauling, Dennis Flanagan and Albert G. Ingalls are also organized within this series, as are nearly thirty years worth of letters documenting Hayward's long association with the book publishers W. H. Freeman & Co.
