Scope and Contents
This series consists of contracts and incoming and outgoing corre¬spondence, 1951-1980, relating to lecture engagements, notes for giving lectures, and lecture information files. A copy of outgoing correspondence is often typed on the reverse side of related incom¬ing correspondence. The "Lectures Completed," 1952-1975, subseries includes correspondence, business itineraries and contracts, and is arranged chronologically (boxes 1-7). Correspondence from previous years relating to the lecture is filed with the year the lecture was completed. "Lectures/Clients," 1954-1979, includes correspondence and contracts with institutions for whom Sultner performed, and is arranged alphabetically by institution (boxes 8-11). The "Lectures" subseries is made up of notes for lectures and is arranged by sub¬ject (boxes 12-19). The Information Note Cards contain material relating to lecture subjects, slides, clients, and contacts for lec¬tures. Some loose slides were originally interfiled with these note cards. The Notebooks include contact and subject files, travel dia¬ry notes and printed lecture programs. They are arranged alphabet¬ically by Sultner's headings. The Catalogue notebooks consist of maps and clippings about American states and foreign countries. Project notebooks include some of Sultner's notes and maps, etc. Travel notebooks include diary notes about Sultner's life and work. Related materials are included in the Postcard Diaries, Personal Papers (Series 1). Contained in the Printed Materials box are subject files of clippings related to Sultner's lecture topics. The Miscellaneous materials contain subject and slide file dividers, filing system notes, photographic label dittos and project outlines.
Restrictions
Some of Sultner's personal correspondence and photographs, placed in this series, are restricted until the year 2031.
