SERIES DESCRIPTION
This collection consists of materials that relate to the writing of the book Exploring Jewish Colorado. It includes the following series:
Correspondence (March 20, 1991-February 2, 1992; nd) -- Box 1, File Folder 1
Includes personal correspondence to and from Phil Goodstein, bids from printers, letters regarding publishing, and permissions. The items are arranged in chronological order in keeping with the order of creation of the book, Exploring Jewish Colorado. Undated items are located in the front of the folder. Note: Some portions of drafts of the book related to specific organizations are attached to correspondence within this series.
Questionnaires (July 30, 1991-August 30, 1991; nd) -- Box 1, File Folders 2-3
Includes questionnaires used to obtain information from various organizations for possible inclusion in the book. Since most of the organizations are located in the Denver area, two sub-series were created: Denver and Other. These items are arranged alphabetically by organization name within each sub-series. Note: Printed materials from some organizations are attached to the surveys.
Secondary Sources (May 5, 1865-January 1992; nd) -- Box 1, File Folders 4-6
Includes pamphlets, brochures, newspaper clippings, photocopies of articles, etc. about people and organizations, and is arranged like the surveys -- alphabetically by name within each sub-series of Denver and Other. The newspaper clippings cover the Friedman, Guldman, and Londoner families, Temple Emmanuel and other Denver Jewish churches, and Jewish society news. This series also includes a published copy of the article, "The Jews of Capitol Hill," by Phil Goodstein, along with several drafts of the article.
Drafts (December 12, 1991; nd) -- Box 2, File Folders 1-7; Box 3, File Folders 1-18
Includes drafts of the book or portions of it, with editorial comments and notes. Each draft represents a different stage of completion of Exploring Jewish Colorado. It is probable that these drafts were created between February 22, 1991 (date of creation of the folder titled, "Jewpaper" on the computer disk) and March 1992 (date of publication of the book). Drafts that are intact or cover several areas of Colorado are in individual folders and arranged in an order that attempts to recreate the order that Dr. Goodstein worked on the book. Incomplete drafts that cover specific organizations or locations in Colorado are arranged in folders by location within the State in accordance with the arrangement of the book, which divides Colorado into the following locations:
  • Denver
  • Pioneering Agricultural Colonies
  • Trinidad
  • Pueblo
  • Colorado Springs
  • Northeastern Colorado
  • Grand Junction
  • Central City
  • Leadville
  • Cripple Creek
  • Southwestern Colorado
  • Mountain Communities

In addition, drafts that are limited to the table of contents, introduction, bibliography, and index are located in folders with these headings. Note: Correspondence to and from John Livingston has been kept with the draft to which it was attached.

Galley Proofs (undated) -- Box 4, File Folders 1-5
Includes several complete or mostly complete galley proofs with editorial comments and notes, arranged in separate folders. As with the drafts, the probable dates are between February 22, 1991 and March 1992. They are also arranged in an order that attempts to recreate the order of work on the book.
Photographic Images and Illustrations (1891-1981; nd) -- Box 4, File Folder 6
Includes one set of photocopies of photographs and illustrations that are in the book.
Computer Diskette (August 31, 1990-February 21, 1992) -- Box 4, File Folder 7
Includes one 3 1/2-inch computer diskette and a printout of the list of folders on the disk. The diskette requires Microsoft Word 1.x-5.x for MAC to read the files. A folder titled "Jewpaper" was created on February 22, 1991, and appears to contain subfolders of the Colorado locations that are used in the book. The printout of folders on the diskette indicates the diskette may also contain material not specifically related to Exploring Jewish Colorado.
