		<head>Collection Overview</head>
		<p>The Dawn Langley Simmons Papers span the years 1848-2001, with the
		  bulk of the papers being dated between 1969 and 2001. The collection consists
		  of material collected and created by Simmons when she was using the names
		  Gordon Langley Hall, Dawn Pepita Langley Hall, and Dawn Langley Simmons.
		  Extensive files of correspondence dating from the 1950s to 2000 document
		  Simmons' formative years in Kent and Sussex, Great Britain; her relationship
		  with her mother, Marjorie Hall Copper; literary circles in Great Britain; later
		  personal events such as her wedding and purchase of her house in Charleston,
		  S.C.; and Simmons' development as a writer. Significant correspondents or
		  individuals mentioned in letters and other materials include Robert Holmes, Sir
		  Harold Nicolson, Nigel Nicolson, Edwin Peacock, Margaret Rutherford, Vita
		  Sackville-West, and Isabel Whitney. The collection also includes writings by
		  Simmons in the form of typescripts and diaries; printed material and clippings including articles by and
		  about Simmons; legal and financial papers; an extensive collection of scrapbooks; photographs; audiovisual materials;
		  and other material relating to Simmons' personal life and career as a writer.
		  The writings in the collection are primarily typescripts but include a few
		  proofs and printers' galleys. Many of the pieces are unpublished. The
		  publication process of the 1995 autobiography
		<title render="italic">Dawn: A Charleston Legend</title> is extensively
		documented by a series of edited manuscripts and proofs as well as
		correspondence with the publisher. Collection materials also document to some extent sex change treatments begun in 1967 at the Gender Identity Clinic of Johns
		Hopkins University in Baltimore; Simmons' 1969 interracial marriage to John-Paul
		Simmons; and the disruption in their lives in part brought on by the negative
		reaction of Charleston society to their marriage.</p>
		<p>The <ref linktype="simple" target="s9" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Audiovisual Materials Series</ref> includes
		  video and audio tape recordings and photographs. The recordings include
		  professionally-produced audio broadcasts discussing Simmons'
		  transgender life and her interracial marriage - and an amateur audio tape of
		  Simmons' wedding. Several hundred photographs document Isabel Whitney and her family as
		  well as Simmons' family and friends. Original recordings are closed to
		  research; listening copies are available for most items. Otherwise, staff must arrange for use copies to be made.</p>
		<p>The largest series in the collection, the <ref linktype="simple" target="s1" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Correspondence Series</ref> consists chiefly of incoming correspondence, spanning five decades, from family and friends, from publishers concerning Simmons' writing, and from other individuals. There is some correspondence written by Simmons scattered throughout.</p>
		<p>Brief but detailed entries in the eleven volumes housed in the <ref linktype="simple" target="s2" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Diaries Series</ref> describe Simmons' writing career, emotional states, and family matters during the time periods from 1975-1976 and 1987-1989, ending with the years 1990-1994.</p>
		<p>The <ref linktype="simple" target="s3" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Legal and Financial Papers Series</ref>
		  chiefly consist of documents concerning Simmons' father, Jack Copper, Isabel
		  Whitney and her family and estate, Simmons and her husband, and Simmons'
		  inheritance from Whitney.</p>
		<p>The <ref linktype="simple" target="s4" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Printed Materials Series</ref> houses clippings, travel
		  guides, flyers, and other items that document Simmons' interests, travels, and
		  hobbies; includes early journalistic writings (chiefly columns), and a hardcover copy of her children's book, the <title render="italic">Great White Owl of Sissinghurst</title>.</p>
		<p>The twenty-odd albums found in the <ref linktype="simple" target="s5" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Scrapbooks
		  Series</ref> feature memorabilia, clippings, photos, and correspondence
		  assembled by Simmons concerning her writing career, family, hobbies, and
		  interest in celebrities and royalty.</p>
		<p>The small <ref linktype="simple" target="s6" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Volumes Series</ref> consists of two manuscripts collected by Simmons: a nineteenth-century diary
		  written by Sarah Combs, a transcript of this diary, and an early twentieth
		  century travelogue written by a member of the Whitney family.</p>

		<p>The <ref linktype="simple" target="s8" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Writings Series</ref> primarily consists of
		  typescripts of works by Simmons. There are a few written pieces by
		  other authors. Other writings by Simmons can be found in the <ref linktype="simple" target="s1" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Correspondence Series</ref> (in the topical correspondence folders for the 1950s and 1960s and scattered throughout in other files); in the
		  <ref linktype="simple" target="s7" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">William Carter Spann Series</ref>, which contains research
		  Simmons conducted in preparation for a book on President Carter's nephew; in the <ref linktype="simple" target="s2" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Diaries Series</ref>; and in the <ref linktype="simple" target="s4" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Printed Materials Series</ref>, which contains early columns and later writings by Simmons.</p>
		<p><ref linktype="simple" target="s10" show="replace" actuate="onrequest">Oversize Materials</ref> housed separately from
		  the main collection include posters, cover proofs, newspaper and magazine
		  clippings, and a few diplomas and awards.</p><p>Acquired as part of the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture. </p>

			 <p>Consists of personal and business correspondence received and
				written by Gordon Hall/Dawn Langley Hall Simmons. The early correspondence
				consists of letters from Simmons' mother, Marjorie Hall (Ticehurst) Copper,
				describing her work on the household staff of Sir Harold Nicolson and his wife,
				Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson, in Cranbrook, Kent, England. The
				letters concern family news and local gossip, Lady Nicolson's death, the family
				affairs and writings of Nigel Nicolson, and Marjorie Copper's views of events
				in the United States. Later correspondence is from Simmons' friends and
				acquaintances. Folders of topical correspondence house letters written by
				Simmons to Edwin Peacock and Robert Holmes, and a few of Peacock's replies; correspondence received by Isabel Whitney, and material concerning the settlement of her estate; and Simmons'
				correspondence with the publisher Wyrick and Co. detailing the publication
				process of
			 <title render="italic">Dawn: A Charleston Legend,</title> and containing older material Simmons sent to the publisher. Other folders in the topical correspondence sub-grouping house early correspondence and clippings from Isabel Whitney and Gordon Hall to Emmeline Paige, editor at the <title render="italic">Villager,</title> and materials that Hall gathered on Helen Invicta Hall, Natasha Simmons, and Isabel Whitney. Smaller amounts of correspondence are found in the Scrapbooks Series. Correspondence arranged in chronological order by date.</p>
