Series A: Correspondence consists of professional, personal, and family correspondence concerning Tate's professional activities and personal interests. The series concerns his work at the National Archives, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the U.S. Naval Academy, as well as journals he edited, organizations in which he was involved, special projects, hobbies, personal interests, and family matters. A selective index to letters written by prominent individuals is available.
This series does not contain Tate's official correspondence as Secretary and Executive Secretary of the National Microfilm Association. That material appears in the NMA records. Some correspondence on NMA dating from the periods before and after Tate's service with the organization are included here, however.
Some additional Tate correspondence relating to specific organizations or activities, appears in Series B--Professional Activities. For instance, Tate's correspondence relating to his research projects and employment in Mexico and his activities with the American Documentation Institute and the Federation Internationale de Documentation appears in series B rather than series A.
The letters are arranged in four separate chronological sequences:
- Personal and professional correspondence that was in the collection when it was initially processed.
- Family correspondence.
- Vernon Tate's Christmas letters.
- Personal and professional correspondence received in a later accretion and processed in 1992. This was not interfiled with the first sequence as the index is based on box and folder numbers which interfiling would have changed.
