scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: The Writings series consists of drafts of published and unpublished writings. Many of the drafts were dictated by Curtis to daughter Florence, who typed them. Some drafts are complete and others are fragmentary. Included are drafts of chapters from "As it Was," Curtis's unpublished memoir. While the drafts are not dated, annotations on the original file folder covers for "As it Was" bear dates in 1948, although it is not clear if these indicate when the drafts were written or reviewed.

Closely related drafts can be found in the Edward S. Curtis papers at the Univerity of Washington Libraries Special Collections.
