content: This series contains a mix of personal and professional correspondence. Very often, individual letters include both personal and professional content. Correspondence is in Spanish and English. The bulk of the letters relate to Prelorán's films and other projects. Correspondents include: Timothy Asch, Sergio Barbieri, Emilie de Brigard, Robert Gardner, Raymundo Gleyzer, Ana Montes de Gonzalez, Lorenzo Kelly, Alan Lomax, David MacDougall, Chick Strand, Howard Suber, and Colin Young, as well as Prelorán's daughter, parents, and sisters. Film subjects with whom Prelorán corresponded include: Damacio Caitruz, Hermógenes Cayo, Hector di Mauro, Cochengo Miranda, Medardo Pantoja, Zulay Saravino, and many of their families.  

In addition to the correspondents' nicknames, Prelorán is sometimes referred to by his childhood nickname, Dick (taken from his middle name, Ricardo).

Additional correspondence is found in Series 5: Production Files, Series 6: Project Files, Series 7: UCLA, and Series 9: Press Clippings.  Series 9 contains more correspondence from the late 1950s and early 1960s than is found here.
