{"value"=>"<p>The Biographical files contain documentation of Tillim's life, as well as some of his family's, from the early 1940s to 2001, but most files date from the 1950s. The files include CV's, identification cards, passports, U.S. Army documents, wills, obituaries, address books, datebooks, and awards, as well as evidence of some of Tillim's activities. Major time periods covered are his service in the army (1943 to 1946); his college years at Syracuse University (1946 to 1950); his time in California (early 1950s); and his first years back in New York City (1956 to 1963). These files include writings, poetry, cartoons, job applications (most for writing or editing work), employment records, clippings, and notes on Tillim's psychoanalysis (starting during his California residency). The California files also contain an early book of poetry, <span class=\"title\">Those Days And The Sea</span> (1952, written to accompany his first art exhibition), and a chapter of an unfinished novel (circa 1952-1953). The files also hold letters or legal papers regarding Tillim's parents, sister, uncle, and wives, as well as genealogical notes.</p>"}
note
{"value"=>"More accounts of Tillim's psychoanalysis can be found in Series VI: Notes and Series VIII: Journals. Series VII: Creative and Personal Writings hold more of his poetry, short stories, and personal essays. See also Series IX: Scrapbooks and Photograph Albums."}
