content: This subseries contains two folders of personal correspondence, 1952-60, which contain inquiries from friends seeking employment. Many letters congratulate Kranzberg for a good speech, a well-written paper, or some other academic success. Still others are a miscellaneous gathering of personal letters from collegues, informational letters, thank-you notes, and invitations.

One folder contains personal documents like the fire insurance policy on his wife's fur coat. Another folder contains publicity items detailing Kranzberg's achievements in the field of history. Included are press releases on Kranzberg publications, clippings on his appointments to various organizations such as Sigma XI and the NASA Advisory Board, and schedules and programs from groups he addressed. Most of the information in this series shows the daily activities that helped Kranzberg develop into an educator and historian.
