Scope and Contents
Series V of the Darling Papers contains Darling's copious correspondence. The first subseries contains 4175 numbered items of correspondence arranged in a chronological sequence, a subject sequence, and a geographic sequence of items related to conservation and the National Wildlife Foundation. Each item has been assigned a number and cross indexed by name and subject(s). That index appears on three pages: A-F; G-N; and O-Z. This page describes only the first subseries and sets forth the box and folder location of each numbered item.
The second subseries, containing correspondence over the entire period of Darling's career, has been arranged in alphabetical order and is described on a separate page. An alphabetical list of the names of correspondents included in that subseries appears on that page.
The third and final subseries dates to Darling's 1925 illness and is comprised mostly of short messages on greeting cards, often with incomplete or indecipherable signatures. It is housed in Box 9 of the collection and is not further described.
When searching for a correspondent, these three varient schemes must be kept in mind; to conduct a complete search, all three sequences must be examined.
