The collection includes drafts of his work, professional and personal correspondence, emails (both digital and in hard copy), notebooks, dream journals, heavily annotated books, lecture notes, teaching materials, photographs and ephemera. Several RBML collections already contain correspondence with Berman. For scholars, this collection will provide important new insights into the thought and work of a leading late-20th-century New York City intellectual. An important segment of the Marshall Berman papers consists of digital materials connected with his more recent work as a writer, scholar, and teacher.
