Collection Overview
The Elizabeth Phillips Papers collection documents the personal life and professional work of Elizabeth Phillips. The collection is organized into six series: 1. Biographical materials and early life; 2. Correspondence; 3. Course materials; 4. Professional materials; 5. Subject files and writings of others; and 6. Writings by Phillips and related materials.
The biographical materials and early life series contains papers and photographs related to her time at Harris High School in Spruce Pine, N.C., her Fulbright Scholarship teaching position in Korea, and materials from college and her two postgraduate degrees. There are also materials related to her parents, Arnold W. Phillips and Vera Phillips.
The correspondence series includes both personal and professional correspondence, so letters may contain personal and professional information. The bulk of correspondence is with her family, including her parents, her sister, and her niece Stephanie Roth. Phillips also corresponded often with her students and colleagues. Some correspondents are identified by partial names, including just by initials or first name.
The course materials series contains course syllabi, reading lists, notes, examinations, and papers by students. The courses are primarily about English literature and poetry and some courses contain research materials that Phillips used to prepare for class.
The professional materials series is primarily comprised of materials from her time as a professor at Wake Forest University. Materials include English department memorandums, professional club and organization papers, and Phillips' curriculum vitae.
The subject files and writings of others contains materials separated by topic, including research topics and writings by others.
