Scope and Content Note
This collection consists mostly of photocopies of materials covering a wide range of Dr. Fuller's work from the 1930s to the 1970s and is arranged in five series.
Series 1, General Correspondence, consists of correspondence with colleagues and clients. Correspondents include John Lennon, Yoko Ono, the Minister of Tourism in India, politicians, and his longtime research associate, Constance Abernathy.
Series 2, Manuscripts, is of major importance in that it contains manuscripts of what would eventually be a large body of published books and articles.
Series 3, Printed Matter, is an extensive collection accumulated by Constance Abernathy. It includes an original package of material relating to the World Exposition in Montreal in 1967, as well as articles on Dr. Fuller and his work published in a variety of periodicals. Also included in this series are two articles by Dr. Fuller published in Shelter magazine in 1932 that provide a basis for understanding some of his early influences and ideology.
Series 4, Lectures, provides insight into Fuller's complex and innovative mind.
Series 5, Miscellany, includes autobiographical information as well as poetry. Folder 3 of this series includes a master list of collection contents with an identification number for each item.
