The Stratemeyer Syndicate was established in 1905 by Edward Stratemeyer, a successful author of juvenile literature. The Syndicate employed ghostwriters to produce such popular children's book series as Tom Swift, The Hardy Boys, The Bobbsey Twins, and Nancy Drew. The records document the literary and business activity of Edward Stratemeyer, his family, and colleagues from 1832 until the sale of the Stratemeyer Syndicate to Simon & Schuster, Inc. in 1984. The records include original manuscripts, editorial notes and correspondence, business and administrative files, promotional material, photographs, musical scores, and artwork. They are an important resource for the study of American popular culture, children's literature, and the history of publishing. less
