Abstract:
Papers of Richard Quinney, a Marxist sociologist noted for his work on criminology whose later work reflected interests in the relationship of sociology to religion, regionalism, photography, and the concept of life studies. The records document his work as a student and teacher of sociology; his involvement in professional organizations such as the American Sociological Association and the Society for the Study of Social Problems; and the writing of numerous books and articles. Later writings reflect his time growing up in Walworth County (Wisconsin) which he recounts in For the Time Being (1998) as well as his experiences traveling through Europe and Asia which are related in Journey to a Far Place (1991). Also included are the photographs used in these last two publications which consist of photographs taken in Walworth County and DeKalb (Illinois) by Quinney and other family members during the 1920s and 1930s, as well as photographs of the locales in which he traveled. Additional photographs (available in digital format only) are from two other books by Quinney, Of Time and Place and Things Once Seen.

Biography/History

Richard Quinney is a Marxist sociologist who has spent his professional career primarily as an educator, researcher, and writer. Most of his early research focused on the development of a radical theory of criminology, but more recently his interests have turned to the relationship of sociology to religion, regionalism, photography, and the concept of life studies.

Quinney was born Earl Richard Quinney in Elkhorn, Wisconsin on May 16, 1934, the son of Floyd and Alice Holloway Quinney. In 1958 he married Valerie Yow; they are the parents of two daughters, Anne and Laura. Quinney received a degree in psychology and sociology from Carroll College in 1956, after which he began his graduate training in sociology at Northwestern University. On completion of an M.A. degree, he entered the University of Wisconsin at Madison in the summer of 1957. His Ph.D. work consisted of studies in sociological theory, statistics, and criminology, with his 1962 dissertation examining white collar crime. While completing the work for his dissertation Quinney took his first full time teaching position at St. Lawrence University in 1960. After finishing his degree he moved to the University of Kentucky as assistant professor. At this time, in addition to teaching, he began the next stage of his research on law and crime, directing attention to local patterns of crime. He also began to write and publish articles on theoretical and methodological issues in the study of crime and criminal law.

In 1965 Quinney was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study and conduct research in the sociology of law at the University of California-Berkeley. However, he chose instead to accept an offer of a tenured position as associate professor at New York University. During his years at NYU Quinney developed a theory of the “social reality of crime.” Drawing on conflict theory and power analysis, he applied this theory to a wide range of legal and criminology topics. This effort culminated in the publication of the Social Reality of Crime.

In 1971 Quinney took a sabbatical leave to study at the University of North Carolina. The original leave was extended for two additional years. Then rather than return to New York City, Quinney settled in Providence, Rhode Island, so that his wife could teach at the University of Rhode Island and he could continue his research. During 1974-1975 he held visiting appointments at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the University of New York, although the year was devoted to completing Class, State and Crime. He then obtained a position at Brown University as adjunct professor from 1978 to 1983. Simultaneously he also held visiting positions at Boston University (1975), Boston College (1978-1983), and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In 1983 Quinney accepted a position at Northern Illinois University.

In 1984 Quinney received the Edwin Sutherland Award for contribution to criminology from the American Society of Criminology. In 1985 he was Eisenhower Foundation delegate for crime prevention and criminal justice to the People's Republic of China. In 1986 he was awarded a four-month Fulbright lectureship at University College in Galway, Ireland and in the summer of 1993 he was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. He retired from Northern Illinois University in 1998.

Scope and Content Note

Although generally resembling the archival collections created by most academics, the Quinney collection is of special interest for several reasons. Quinney's radical views made him one of the most controversial members of his profession, and for historians of sociological and radical theory the collection provides ample documentation of the development and expression of these ideas. There is also material on the intellectual evolution which has more recently taken him beyond the strict confines of sociology. Adherence to political ideals led to a career pattern for Quinney which differed from many of his colleagues and the collection also contains considerable material on these choices. Finally, his Wisconsin origin, an increasing focus of both his personal and intellectual life, is also documented in the collection. While his Wisconsin youth is not represented by direct, primary source material, this theme is represented in later writings such as “A Place Called Home,” which are included. This part of the collection does not contain any family photographs such as those Quinney took as a young man of life in Elkhorn or any of his more recent photographic work.

The chronologically-arranged CORRESPONDENCE covers the years 1957 to 1988. It includes both incoming letters and carbons of outgoing correspondence, and it pertains to all aspects of Quinney's life, although the bulk of it is related to academic and professional activities. There is some overlap with the correspondence contained within the Professional Files, and, as a consequence, researchers should examine both subseries in order to locate all letters on a particular topic.

The PROFESSIONAL FILES are comprised of documentation concerning Quinney's education and doctoral research, his teaching positions, and his involvement with various professional organizations and journals. The educational files are arranged chronologically by institution and date from 1955 through the completion of his dissertation. The University of Wisconsin files, which are the most extensive in the section, contain files on individual courses taken as a graduate student. The teaching files are also arranged chronologically by institutional affiliation. Variously included for each institution is correspondence pertaining to employment, salary, course development, and work with students. Several periods in his teaching career are also represented by files on grant proposals, special projects, and sabbatical study. The professional organizations are alphabetically arranged. The correspondence here generally concerns arrangements for professional meetings and the submission of articles. Most extensive are the files on the American Sociological Association and the Society for the Study of Social Problems. The files on the Popular Justice Research Group contain draft materials for a volume on which the members of the group collaborated.

Quinney's SPEECHES AND WRITINGS are arranged by genre and include articles, books, speeches, poetry, and a handwritten journal. Short works, generally encompassing speeches and articles, are arranged alphabetically by title. Draft manuscripts are included here only in those cases in which the early versions differed substantially from the printed work. Also here is a file of reprints for which there was no other documentation in the collection.

Files on Quinney's books are quite extensive and are arranged chronologically by publication date. Titles which were withdrawn or not published have been filed by approximate date. Volumes which were revised and published as second editions have been filed following the earlier editions to which they relate. Although Quinney saved virtually all of the paper relating to the production of each book--from early notes through galleys, page proofs, and published volumes--only the drafts which exhibit substantial changes from the published volume have been retained as part of the collection. This material and the related editorial correspondence are filed in chronological order. Because of deteriorating paper and Quinney's cut and paste style of revision, large parts of this section have been microfilmed in order to preserve the intellectual content. After filming the originals were returned to Mr. Quinney.

The small, alphabetically-arranged SUBJECT FILE contains information on research ideas, correspondence with authors who wished to quote from Quinney's publications, and information on several organizations with which he was involved.

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.
