RE/Search: Submissions and Proposals Part 2
Blog post by Jesse Siragan Arlen, CFPRT Scholar
Third in a series of blog posts chronicling finds in the V. Vale Collection, currently being processed in the Center for Primary Research and Training (CFPRT) in Library Special Collections.
In a previous blog post, we introduced the approximately 500 unsolicited submissions and proposals sent to RE/Search between the years 1980-2010, and included samples of full typescript book submissions. Below are samples of a number of other types of submissions and proposals contained in the collection.
A poem submission by G. Sutton Breiding, entitled Eremite’s Column: 2, later published in the November-December 1992 issue of Star*Line. The correspondence carried on between G. Sutton Breiding and V. Vale between 1991-1992 is also included in the V. Vale Collection.
This submission contains 61 illustrated vignettes that portray strange, surprising, or notable moments in history, by Louis R. Biro. Individual vignettes have appeared under the title of “Factualities” in the San Diego Reader, Funny Times, The Santa Cruz Comics News, and other alternative newsweeklies.
Invitations to collaborate on projects.

A Proposal-with samples-for a project to be titled "Incredibly Strange Art," submitted by Bill Ellsworth.
In Remembrance of Martha Graham’s “American Document” 1938
blog post by Genie Guerard
As described by Graham in an interview at the time, “This dance is supposed to bring back to its full meaning what has largely become meaningless in America through familiarity. I refer to such a word as democracy that reminds us of rights we have but may not avail ourselves of. As the line goes in the script of the dance, 'We forget too much.'"
May O'Donnell, Jane Dudley, and Sophie Maslow in Martha Graham’s American Document, 1938.

Three women dance throughout the following lines:
Listen to what we say.
We are three women.
We are three million women.
We are the mothers of the hungry dead.
We are the mothers of the hungry living.
We are the mothers of those to be born.
Listen to what we say.
Ours is a lament for the living.
The UCLA Library Special Collections holds the complete photographic archive of Barbara Morgan, and the personal papers of Barbara and her husband, Willard Morgan.
