UWM Manuscript Collection 37
2.8 cubic ft. (7 boxes)
UW-Milwaukee Libraries, Archives / Milwaukee Area Research Ctr. (Map)
Papers of a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee English professor
which include professional and personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, drafts of
published works, copies of works submitted for publication, reviews, and notes. The
professional correspondence includes thank you letters, letters of inquiry, rejection and
acceptance letters from publishers, and routine correspondence with colleagues. The personal
correspondence deals primarily with Burke's battle against heart disease. A large portion of
the collection concerns Burke's involvement with professional organizations, particularly
the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and the Wisconsin Council of Teachers of
English (WCTE). The collection also reflects her interest in Black literature. She taught
courses in Black literature, and she served on the advisory board for the Negro-American Literature Forum, which later became the Black American Literature Forum.
