General correspondence, Bra-Coo, 1983-1994

General correspondence consists of incoming and outgoing letters arranged alphabetically by surname. Each document was labeled by the creator (Starr) or his agent in red ink on the right hand margin with the sender’s surname. Topics account for Starr’s involvement and interest in U.S.S.R. and U.S. relations, jazz music, New Orleans history, and travel to the U.S.S.R. Snapshots of Starr’s opinions on other scholarly writings sent to him by the authors can also be found here. Occasionally, Starr would correspond with Oberlin alumni to cultivate alumni relationships and build greater support for future college development efforts.
