Most of the folders have only a few letters from each correspondent or organization. The majority of the letters come from the 1960s and 1970s. There are also several autobiographical sketches of Jewish authors, which Starkman appears to have requested from the authors whom he included in the Anthology of American-Jewish Poetry and the Lexicon of Modern Yiddish Literature. The Papers of Moshe Starkman contain mainly correspondence between Starkman and various Jewish writers and organizations, as well as some newspaper clippings. Scope and Content Note From the Collection: General materials are in two folders at the end of the series. The folder list has been rearranged to conform to the Latin alphabet according to the name of the author or topic. Among the manuscripts there are lists of contents of three publications that Niger had planned to issue but that were never published: An anthology of Social Poetry of Labor and Struggle A Chrestomathy of the Older Yiddish Literature, and an Anthology of Translations of World Literature into Yiddish. Major topics are: Jewish life in American (folders 1,243-1,244), Yiddish literature in America (folders 1,245-1,250), Hasidic literature (folders 1,295-1,296), Yiddish (folders 1,301-1,308), Yiddish literature (folders 1,313-1,326), Jewish culture (folder 1,329), Israel and Zionism (folders 1,333-1,335), and Soviet Yiddish literature (folders 1,354-1,356). Some of these articles and essays were translated into English.
