{"value"=>"<p>This subseries contains correspondence with publishers, periodicals, agencies, authors, and various parties seeking permission to use authors' works. The files primarily document the processes and challenges related to managing copyright, though other subjects, such as authors’ contracts, are also discussed. Rights under discussion include foreign, film, reproduction, serial, and performance rights. The files contain letters clarifying or canceling existing agreements, and confirming or discussing terms of new agreements. In a few instances, legal documents are attached to letters, but in general the files do not contain copies of contracts. Statements of payment are interspersed with the correspondence. Included in this subseries is correspondence about or with authors such as Henrietta Buckmaster, Elizabeth Enright, Dan Jacobson, George Panetta, Ann Petry, and Edward Wagenknecht.</p> <p>The files are arranged alphabetically by year, though some files include related correspondence from previous calendar years. There is no file for 1971. Material from the 1950s and 1960s is best-represented. Most correspondence is alphabetized by the name of the author it relates to, though a small amount of material is alphabetized by subject. For example, a report on recommended terms for television movie adaptation agreements is filed under \"TV\". Letters concerning multiple authors are filed by correspondent.</p>"}
