Scope and Content:

The Kathleen Van Der Aue Collection on Robert Frost is a small archival portion of a larger library collection of materials on the poet Robert Frost. Compiled by Kathleen Van Der Aue, this portion of the collection consists of newspaper clippings, brochures, programs, correspondence, commemorative stamps, photographs, and audio-visual materials on, by, or about Robert Frost. The materials in this collection date from 1909 to 2005, with the bulk of materials dating from 1945 to 1974. The majority of this collection consists of newspaper clippings from a variety of sources, not all of which are identified. These clippings include Frost poems, information on his life, events such as his address at Dartmouth College, his death, and a 1981 article on a Japanese professor translating Frost. The correspondence in this collection is a mixture of letters to and from Frost family members and Kathleen Van Der Aue. Of note is a Christmas Card from Lesley Frost to Marie and Hugh dated 1969 and a postcard from Effie T. Chase to Mrs. E. B. Frost dated March 3, 1909. Other materials in this collection consist of a cassette of Robert Frost reading his poetry in 1956, and a documentary, A Lover’s Quarrel with the World. This 1963 documentary is in this collection as both a 16mm film and a DVD and features Frost reminiscing on his life and career. It also includes footage of him giving lectures at Amherst and Sarah Lawrence colleges, daily life at his Vermont home, and receiving the Congressional Gold Medal from President John F. Kennedy.
