Bibliography of the Georg Kaiser Collection
Accession 96-2, Section II

General and miscellaneous files, trial documents

This sub-section contains a variety of documents which are not classified in any of the previous sections. Included are files with copies of primary materials published in periodicals and monographs (in manuscript format or in print), photographs, posters, trial documents, as well as a general file with articles, theses, and essays about Kaiser’s life and work. Also included are some issues of periodicals with articles about Kaiser. Each record provides a description of the file, however, citations of individual articles are not given.

The scope of Section I is limited to unpublished manuscripts, or works duplicated or published in a limited number for a particular stage or radio production. Thus, the file number 292 with primary material was not included in Section I, because it includes copies of Kaiser’s works which were published.
