- Scope and Contents
- Series 3 consists of letters, cards, faxes, and printed emails to and from Edmund Carpenter. The bulk of the material is professional in nature and documents Carpenter's relationships with fellow anthropologists as well as the organization and reception of his various interdisciplinary projects. The earliest correspondence in this series consists of letters written to Carpenter's colleague and friend Stephen "Skip" Gilman referencing their early archaeological digs in Michigan (1938) and exchanging personal news and banter. The series also includes substantial material documenting Carpenter's correspondence with his frequent collaborator, media scholar Marshall McLuhan. Of note in this series is a 1957 letter from e. e. cummings to Carpenter, written in verse, and an undated thank-you note addressed to "Sadie" from Helen Keller.
