Dossier Uphill MSS 11 - Teaching notes

1 box

The estate of Eric Uphill.

Donated by the executors of the estate of Eric Uphill in 2022.

Bundles of typewritten and handwritten teaching notes, with prepared text, transcriptions, and translations. The larger group is a set of typewritten notes on quarto-size paper, which suggests they were created pre-1980. None of the documentation is dated nor indicates the classes they were prepared for.
