The Writings Series consists of Myers' personal and professional writings from both his time as a graduate student and his tenure as a professor at Princeton University. The bulk of the documents, including all of the Diaries and Notes subseries and much of the Lectures subseries, are in Myers' hand. Other documents include typescripts and carbons of various Myers monographs, bank account books, and engagement books. This series documents not only Myers day-to-day life, but also his interests and work habits. This is particularly evident in the Notes subseries. Included here are notebooks containing newspapers clippings which were carefully and meticulous maintained by Myers throughout his career. The clippings are accompanied by notes, thoughts, and future ideas for Myers' writings.
