Mss 776	Part 2 (Mss 776, PH Mss 776): 2000 Additions, 1990-2000 Physical Description: 5.6 c.f. (14 archives boxes) and 143 photographs Scope and Content Note The records contained in the 2000 Additions document Quinney's Marxist ideology and reflect on his personal and professional life. The bulk of the files consist of Quinney's writings and speeches, mostly from the 1990s. A smaller segment of the collection includes papers which document his time as a sociology professor at Northern Illinois University and consist of course syllabi and student evaluations. The General Correspondence and Personal Files provide insight into his professional relationships with colleagues in the field of criminology, as well as document his philosophical thought and reflection during his travels and in times of personal crisis. The photographs in the collection are those used in his books, Journey to a Far Place and For the Time Being, most of which were taken in DeKalb, Illinois and on trips around the United States, Europe, and Asia. The GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE series (1988-1999) is arranged chronologically and includes correspondence with professional colleagues as well as some letters from family and friends. The bulk of the correspondence consists of incoming letters although occasionally copies of Quinney's outgoing letters are also included. The PERSONAL FILES series consists of two parts: Diaries and Journals, and Family History. The Diaries and Journals (1977-1996) include Quinney's handwritten journals which explore Quinney's daily life, personal ideologies, and reflections. The Family History papers (1921-1941) consist of a scrapbook created by Quinney's aunt which documents the family through news clippings from the local Walworth County paper. The PROFESSIONAL FILES series (1973-2000) consists of five parts: Vitae, Speeches and Writings, Teaching Files, Organizations and Activities, and Fellowship and Gching Files, Organizations and Activities, and Fellowship and Grant Applications. Arranged chronologically, the vitae cover the years between 1973 and 1996. The Speeches and Writings papers consist of all forms of scholarly writings created by Quinney between 1981 and 2000 including books, drafts, articles and unpublished works, and lectures; these are arranged alphabetically by title. The correspondence relating to each publication is grouped with the title and precedes any drafts. Teaching Files include syllabi, lectures, student and faculty evaluations, and sabbatical proposals from his time as a professor at Northern Illinois University. The files date 1983-1998 and document courses Quinney taught in the Sociology Department and student and faculty comments on courses taught. The Organizations and Activities papers are arranged alphabetically and include correspondence and records from Quinney's involvement in the American Society of Criminologists, Criminologists for the Abolition of the Death Penalty, and as an honorary editor for the scholarly journal, Journal of Ideology. The Fellowship and Grant Applications papers consist of correspondence between Quinney and granting agencies regarding acceptance into various research programs. The FINANCIAL RECORDS series (1969-1984) includes royalty and estate records. These consist of documents and receipts relating to the publication of Quinney's books, and property records documenting the period in which Quinney lived in Providence, Rhode Island. The SUBJECT FILES is a small series consisting of a poem written by Desmond Egan to Quinney, files from his sociological research on Walworth County, and correspondence with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regarding his serving as a photographer for the agency. The PHOTOGRAPHS series includes photographs published in For the Time Being and Journey to a Far Place. Those in For the Time Being include photographs taken by Floyd Quinney on a trip to California in 1924, and photographs taken by Quinney in DeKalb (Illinois), Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, and France. The Journey to a Far Place images include family photographs of the Quinney farm in Creek Township, Walworth County, Wisconsin by Richard and his father Floyd, scenes from New York City, Providence (Rhode Island), China, Ireland, and DeKalb (Illinois). These photographs are arranged by the page numbers on which they appear in the books.
