Collection Overview
The Sallie Bingham Papers provide rich documentation of the personal
life, literary development, and philanthropic activities of
Sallie Bingham, feminist and writer. The papers, dated 1900-1998, with the bulk of the materials dating from the 1940s to 1998, are comprised of correspondence, speeches, writings, subject files, personal papers, diaries and notebooks, legal and financial papers, audiovisual recordings, and photographic media. Included also are
some records of The Kentucky Foundation for Women, a
philanthropic organization founded by Bingham;
The American Voice, a
literary journal founded by Bingham and published under the
auspices of The Kentucky Foundation for Women; and Santa Fe
Stages, a regional theater founded by Bingham. Arranged into the following series: Audiovisual Materials, Correspondence, Diaries and Notebooks, Kentucky Foundation for Women, Legal and Financial, Miscellaneous, Photographs, Poetry, Santa Fe Stages, Speeches, Subject Files, Writings, and Oversize Material, with the
Writings, Diaries and Notebooks, and Correspondence Series composing the bulk of the collection.
The Writings Series is central to the collection, and is correspondingly substantial, comprising over half of the papers. It includes drafts, research, correspondence
and publicity related to such novels as
Small Victories,
Upstate,
Matron of Honor, and
Straight Man, her
memoir
Passion and Prejudice,
the writing and production of the plays
The Awakening and
The Death of Henry
Flagler as well as poetry and many short, personal
essays. The Poetry Series
consists of individual poems, while compendiums of poetry
are in the Writings Series. Many
of Bingham's writings (including poems, novels, short
stories, plays and essays) exist as electronic files and
are available to researchers. These files are listed in the
the Poetry and the Writings Series. The Diaries and
Notebooks Series contains material
spanning her entire life -- from her adolescence in
Louisville, Kentucky in the 1940s to her experiences living in Santa Fe,
New Mexico, and contain many ideas for writings and references to the process of writing. The Correspondence Series also spans the same period of time, and contains family correspondence spanning many decades, as well as literary and personal
correspondence between Bingham and such well-known authors,
activists and artists as Judy Chicago and Gloria Steinem. The smaller Speeches Series houses writings by Bingham for public engagements, and in addition to contributing to a portrait of Bingham as a writer, documents her explication of feminist issues relating to women in the corporate world, in publishing, and women in history.
Bingham, born into a prominent Louisville, Ky.
family that owned
The Louisville
Courier-Journal, worked for the newspaper as book
page editor, 1982-1985. She also took an active seat on the
board of the Bingham Enterprises, which was responsible for
The Courier-Journal
and other media corporations in the Louisville area.
Bingham's desire to sell her shares in the stock in the
newspaper resulted in the sale of
The Courier-Journal in
1986. The Bingham family and the break-up of the Bingham
Enterprises were the subject of at least four books (
The Binghams of
Louisville,
House of Dreams,
The Patriarch and
Bingham's
Passion and Prejudice)
and much media attention. Materials concerning this aspect
of Bingham's life can be found in the Legal and Financial Papers Series and Subject Files Series. Audiovisual materials in the Audiotapes and Videotapes Series document aspects of Bingham's career and life through interviews and other events.

name, the year in which the electronic file was last
modified, and the file's disk (subdirectory) name. A number
of these poems exist in more than one iteration; they may
have multiple file names and/or exist in multiple
subdirectories. Note that many of the following poems
possess multiple files that may have been created or edited
in different years.
The contents of each disk was migrated to

Writings Series, 1953-1998 and undated
This largest series in the collection contains drafts and published copies of all of Sallie Bingham's
literary writings, including her poems,
short stories,
plays,
novels as well as
essays and
book reviews. There is
a significant amount of material devoted to her
memoir
Passion and
Prejudice as well as to her many novels.
Files are arranged alphabetically by the title of the work
and many include related research files,
correspondence with publishers or producers,
contracts, letters from
well-wishers, and copies of reviews or publicity. At the end of
the series are miscellaneous files pertaining to Bingham's
writing, including proposed projects, newspaper clippings
for research and book reviews.
Many of Bingham's writings were received as
electronic files. If an
individual work has a corresponding electronic file, an entry for the
file is included in the alphabetical list below. In such
cases, following an individual work's title there is a
brief description, then the electronic file's name, the
year in which the file was last modified, and the file's
disk (subdirectory) name. A number of these works exist in
more than one iteration; these may have multiple file names
and/or reside in multiple subdirectories. Note that many of
the following works possess multiple files that may have
been created or edited in different years. Disks were assigned consecutive numbers reflecting
the original order in which they were received.
[The contents of each disk was migrated to a library server. Please consult a reference archivist for access to
the electronic files.]
