Correspondence, 1922-1993, Undated 3.5 cubic ft.
The location of correspondence in this collection is based on how the archivist found the materials as donated by Schaefer. Although he filed a considerable amount of correspondence within materials from specific affiliations (ex. General Electric, Munitalp, consulting work), the archivist found still more correspondence boxed separately. Roughly half of these items were not subdivided or specially categorized in any way while others were foldered by topic. This arrangement has been retained by the archivist. Please note that this series contains letters, cards, and postcards that span the majority of Schaefer's life, from young adulthood to the weeks before he died in July 1993. Some are professional in nature while others are from friends and family.
These letters were not previously sorted out by Schaefer before he donated them to the archive, and like the correspondence in subseries #1, they span many years and have their source in many of Schaefer's professional and personal activities. To expedite progress for researchers, the materials have been organized by year.
The items in this subseries were foldered by specific subject in some cases, or simply by a letter (ex. "M"). The latter would have a mix of persons, places, and topics identified within. This system could be a legacy from Alice Klopfer, the secretary who handled Schaefer's administrative needs for his consulting work.
