I. Biographical Materials,, 1911-1948

The files en masse represent the published work of the prolific author of juvenile literature. These are in excess of 300 titles represented in the form of manuscripts prepared for publication, galley proofs to the final products of published materials.

The other unique facet to this collection is the broad scope of juvenile literature represented by numerous magazine and newspapers. Many of the items were published through various organs of the church and were published nation wide. The collection holds a few titles that could be viewed as mainstream and as such many have been included with the Reader's Guide, etc. On the other hand, many of the newsletters represented in the collection could be viewed as small press and are probably not indexed anywhere.

Separate file of manuscripts, not authored by Silvers, it appears that he acted as intermediary agent and/or editor. The folder includes publishers letters relating to the work, are all addressed to Silvers.
