Series consists of correspondence, primarily of a professional nature, relating to Prof. Marrus’s work as an academic and author, dating from his appointment at the University of Toronto in 1968. Correspondents include students, academics, publishers, colleagues, and community organizations covering a wide range of topics. Some letters address the general administration of Prof. Marrus’s employment and research accounts, grants and funding, and teaching duties/assignments. Other letters include invitations for speaking engagements, writing projects and conferences; letters of appreciation; requests for his expert opinion; discussions/debates on Zionism; and responses to his work. Although the majority of the correspondence is incoming, some outgoing correspondence is included, including Prof. Marrus’s comments on others’ work (as solicited by the author or as part of a peer review process). Later correspondence files also include news clippings, event information, and newsletters. Correspondence relating to specific publications can also be found in series 4.
