Papers accumulated by Aubrey Haan regarding the life and execution of Joe Hill, a folk-singer and labor union representative who was killed in Utah in 1915. Materials include correspondence, book manuscripts, and trial materials from Hill's trial.
The Correspondence Series spans 1940-1951, and much of Haan's general correspondence is with his wife, as well as with publishers regarding Haan's attempts to publish his Joe Hill manuscripts. Other correspondents include Constantine and Virginia Filigno, with whom Haan spoke regarding Hill's trial and execution. Constantine was a leader of the Industrial Workers of the World during the 1940s, while Virginia was a strong advocate for Hill's innocence. Also included are several letters with Agnes Inglis of the University of Michigan Labadie Collection.
The Research Materials Series includes materials used by Haan for his biography on Hill. Included are copies of news articles about Hill and his execution, obituaries, and trial proceeding documents, including a trial transcript.
The Manuscripts Series contains two book manuscripts one for Haan's "Pie in the Sky," and another untitled. The "Pie in the Sky" manuscript includes handwritten notes and edits.

The Franklin and Penelope Rosemont Papers contain materials related to the activities of the Chicago Surrealists Group and its members, surrealism movements around the world, and the evolution of surrealist thought, writing and art from the 1960s through 2009. The papers contain notes, notebooks, drafts of manuscripts, and published and unpublished work, as well as original artwork by the Rosemonts and by their friends and correspondents. There are photographs distributed throughout the collection; however, the Current documents (2000s) and photographs (1960-2010) series includes a significant number of photographs that feature the Rosemonts and their activities. The final three series are dedicated to correspondence; however, correspondence is also interspersed throughout a few of the other series. A number of the published journals as well as a handful of calendars have been removed from the collection and can be found by searching the library catalog.
