Published copies include either original publications wherein Merton's published poems appeared or photocopies from such publications.

This Records Sub-Group includes articles and essays written about Merton. They are mostly photocopies from academic journals.

This Records Sub-Group originally included periodicals used by Merton.

Periodicals containing articles about Merton through the present have been integrated into Records Sub-Group 4i [D.1].

This Records Subgroup contains mimeographs, small pamphlets, or other small works (published and unpublished) that have been inscribed or signed by Merton. Some items were transferred from Records Subgroup 4i (D.2) to differentiate them from other unsigned mimeographs.

This Records Subgroup contains the papers of Betty Delius related to the foundation, organization, administration and programming of a Merton collection and Merton Center at the college. The date range of the materials is circa 1960 to 1980. The papers include correspondence (much are copies of letters between members of the Merton Legacy Trust and others involved in the foundation of the Merton Center); architectural specifications, plans and photographs of the Thomas Merton Room at the Bellarmine Library; forms and contracts; finding aids for the early collection; bibliographies; committee minutes; an address list of Merton correspondents; and working files. There is one original piece signed by Merton: "Concerning the Collection in Bellarmine College Library", which was read at the opening ceremony for the Merton Room in 1963. Books, pamphlets, newspaper clippings, and early Merton Center brochures and programs from Delius' papers have been interfiled with other parts of the collection. The files detail the arrangements made to obtain a small collection of Merton's papers at Bellarmine, the renovation of space in the library for a Merton Room, the designation of Bellarmine as official repository of Merton's papers, the collection and arrangement of the books and manuscripts, foundation of the Thomas Merton Studies Center, staffing of the Merton Center, rules governing ownership and use of the collection, accession lists, and programming for Merton related events at the college that were hosted by the Merton Center. Ms. Delius donated the papers to the Merton Center in July of 2005.

This Records Subgroup includes papers collected by Marie Charron, a typist for Thomas Merton from 1967-1968. The donation included mimeographs and carbons of Merton's articles, book reviews and poetry; correspondence between Merton and Charron, and between Tommie O'Callaghan regarding the Merton Legacy Trust (after Merton's death); newspaper clippings regarding Merton, the Merton Center, and Merton biographer John Howard Griffin; and various brochures and event bulletins regarding programs regarding Merton and the Merton Center. The date range of the materials is from 1967 to 1977. Items in accession one were donated by David Charron, March 2008. Items in accession two were donated by David Charron, February 2022. Box list of donated items from accession one filed with the last folder of that accession.

This Records Subgroup includes materials related to the Catholic Worker Movement and prominent figures in the movement, including co-founder Dorothy Day and artists for the newspaper, such as Ade Bethune and Fritz Eichenberg. Joseph Zarrella met Dorothy Day in New York and joined the Catholic Worker movement in its early days. Zarrella married Mary Alice Lautner and moved to her home town of Tell City, Indiana, where he established a Catholic Worker House of Hospitality. Dorothy Day visited the Zarrella family after Joseph moved to Indiana.

The bulk of this Sub-Section includes news clippings or copies of full periodicals and journals containing essays, reviews, and poetry by or about Thomas Merton which were kept in a file by Fr. Irenaeus Herscher, O.F.M. (1902-1981), head librarian of Friedsam Memorial Library at St. Bonaventure University in New York, which houses the primary collection of papers by Herscher and one letter between Merton and Herscher.

This Records Subgroup contains one handwritten manuscript by Serge Bolshakoff, "Introduction to Wales." Bolshakoff was a close friend of Archimandrite Nicholas Gibbes and left the manuscript with him. It was passed down in the family. Charles Gibbes Paveliev donated in the manuscript in 2021. In the Merton correspondence file under Bolshakoff, there is a bibliography of Bolshakoff’s work, published and unpublished, but it does not include this work. See also correspondence for Bolshakoff.

In this virtual series, there is a listing of papers and presentations for the 2023 ITMS conference. Conference description: "In his poem Hagia Sophia and other writings, Thomas Merton wrote of divine wisdom, often personified as Sophia. Representing both the Holy Spirit and the mystical idea of divine wisdom, the figure of Sophia played an important role in Thomas Merton’s spirituality and writing. This mystical image represents the divine in active terms, reaching into our souls and challenging us to new ways of living, of loving our neighbors, of standing for justice. Moreover, in Sophia Merton recognized an experience of God rendered in a feminine face. The significance of the divine feminine in Merton’s life and work connects aptly to the location of our gathering in 2023. Saint Mary’s College, a Catholic women’s liberal arts college, has long been a pioneering institution in women’s higher education, and intersected with Merton’s life in important ways. Merton corresponded with members of the Saint Mary’s community, including then-President Sr. Madeleva Wolff, and it was Saint Mary’s that first published Merton’s 1948 book What is Contemplation? More generally, Merton was shaped in important ways by women in his life — from his mother to the Baronness Catherine de Hueck Doherty to his longtime literary agent Naomi Burton Stone — and through his writings and correspondence engaged in extensive dialogue with women writers."

Conference paper: 'Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst': Kendrick Lamar through the Lenses of Thomas Merton and Johann Baptist Metz, presented by Laurine Ernst.
