Myra Orth kept extensive documentation in the form of small notebooks on the courses
and seminars attended at Cornell University, The New School for Social Research, New
York University, the Courtauld and the Warburg Institutes. Included are notebooks
documenting seminars given by Colin Eisler, Charles Sterling, and Craig H. Smyth.
Years after Orth completed her studies, her notebooks proved to be one of the most
detailed records of lectures given by Vladimir Nabokov at Cornell University and were
used in the publication of these lectures. Correspondence related to Nabokov's
lectures, which was filed with Orth's notebooks, was left in situ in this series.
