Series I. Press, Publicity and Fan Letters, 1947-2006, inclusive
Extent
Scope and Contents
The series includes publicity material (brochures, advertisements, flyers, conference programs, tour schedules, etc.) for Carole Hyatt's books, speaking engagements, workshops, and other Hyatt appearances and initiatives; clippings, articles, tearsheets, and other documents from press outlets, including international sources, relating to Hyatt's books and appearances; and complimentary and appreciative "fan" letters sent to Hyatt.
The bulk of the series dates from the late 1970s and into the early 2000s. However, there are a small number of documents representing Hyatt's early life and career (then still known as Carole Schwartz, prior to her marriage).
Arrangement
The bulk of the series was originally in 3-ring binders compiled by the Hyatts. The series opens with that material, though it was removed from the binders during processing.
Following the unbound documents are similar publicity and press materials that were found by the processing archivist throughout the collection. A final folder includes documents from Hyatt/Schwartz's early life and career; the contents are noted at the folder level.
