MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION
Dates:
Circa 1930-1985
Abstract:
The Linguistic Society of America was organized in 1924 in New York City, but there is little, if any, material in the archive relating to its early history. The bulk of the collection dates after 1960, although there is scattered correspondence and material for the decades prior to that time. There are administrative records (records of the officers, secretariat, committees, general correspondence); records concerning the summer linguistics institutes run by the LSA; annual meeting records; membership records; material relating to the publications of the LSA; and substantial material concerning affiliations with other organizations (ACLS, NAS, NRC, NEH, Social Science Research Council). There are also financial records of the Society.
