Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas collection
The Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas Collection contains manuscripts, letters, photographs, clippings, artworks, and research materials relating to the life and work of Gertrude Stein and her companion, Alice B. Toklas gathered during the years following Stein's death to supplement the Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas Papers (YCAL MSS 76). Items from such friends and admirers as Elizabeth Fuller Chapman, Doda Conrad, Clement Hurd, Samuel Steward, and Donald Sutherland complement the original group of Stein papers. Series I, Writings, includes drafts of works by Stein and several posthumously published items, along with a group of writings by Alice B. Toklas. Series II, Correspondence, contains long runs of letters from Stein to: Edward Aswell, Henry Phelan Gibb, William Garland Rogers, Samuel Steward, Donald Sutherland, and Virgil Thomson, all of which were acquired from the original recipients and several outgoing letters from Gertrude Stein and from Alice Toklas. Series III, Other Papers, contains research materials from Stein scholars, files from the Atlantic Monthly concerning their publication of Stein's work, several musical settings of Stein works, and Doda Conrad's files concerning a fund for Alice Toklas. Series IV and V contain Printed Materials and Series VI contains Photographs, some of Stein and Toklas, but principally of artworks owned by Stein and of posthumous productions of Stein plays. Series VII and VIII (Artworks and Objects), includes a collage painting by Pablo Picasso and a number of paintings by Sir Francis Rose. Series IX, Film and Sound Recordings, contains a film of Stein and Toklas at the Hotel Pernollet in Belley France around 1927 and several audio recordings of Stein readings her works.
