Eleanor Gould Packard was an editor who worked at the New Yorker from 1945 to 1999, first as a copy editor and later as the magazine's Grammarian, a title created for her. Packard's papers contain correspondence, hand-edited galley proofs, articles, photographs, and other material related to her career. Correspondence is with authors, journalists, and editors, including New Yorker writers and staff; the collection also contains many letters from fans. The best-represented correspondents include Janet Flanner, Andrew Porter, and Priscilla Taylor. Drafts of some of Packard's outgoing letters are present. Packard's handwritten line edits and copyedits appear on documents throughout the collection, on proofs as well as published pieces. The collection includes a photocopy of The Elements of Style with Packard's edits, and word lists and style-related memoranda from the New Yorker. less
