This series consists of both manuscripts and typescripts in German and in English. The largest portion of this section consists of texts of novels, including the handwritten manuscript of Lestoque's published novel, Menschen in Aktendeckeln, as well as versions of several unpublished novels. The poetry and short prose works are primarily written in German and date from 1909 to the 1930s, although a few examples in English date from his post-emigration time period.

German and Jewish Intellectual Émigré Collections
Personal and professional papers of German-speaking Émigré in the social sciences, humanities, and the arts and the organizations which assisted those who fled the Nazi regime.
In recognition of the serious scholarly interest in the mass migration of German speaking exiles from the Nazi regime, a German and Jewish Intellectual Émigré Collection was established in 1976 at the University at Albany, State University of New York. This growing collection has been developed since the 1970s through the efforts of the University Libraries and Professor John M. Spalek of the University's Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literature Department
