Abstract:

Papers of Susan Taylor White, a scriptwriter for radio, including scripts as well as a small amount of personal papers.

The personal papers include correspondence, cards/invitations, fan mail, poetry, a scrapbook relating to the charitable organization Bundles for Britain, teaching materials from a course White taught at Lenox School in New York, and newspaper clippings, some of which relate to Voice of America and the United States Information Agency.
