The
Louis Horst Papers document his professional, and primarily his personal, life from 1962 to 1964. There are, however, letters and contractual information dating back as early as 1935 and 1959. The importance of this collection lies in its personal nature. The appreciation, gratitude, and honor bestowed upon
Horst by students, contemporaries, supporters, and friends is repeated again and again in the correspondence written to him. The content consists mainly of correspondence to
Horst by friends, such as
Gertrude Lippincott, and dance associates, such as
Harriet Berg. There is also correspondence from relatives, primarily
May, his sister,
George, her husband, and
Betty,
Horst's wife.
