Scope and content
This Records Subgroup contained working notes and pieces of correspondence compiled by William H. Shannon in the publication of some of Merton's correspondence. The correspondence contained mostly duplicates of pieces from the Merton Center's collection (Record Group 1); however, some are copies obtained from other collections or from those who were in correspondence with Merton.
