Biographical, 1958-2012

2.7 linear feet, 1 oversize boxes, 2 oversize folders

The Biographical series contains documents that cover Stein's personal as well as professional life. The large portion of the documents in this series are university personnel forms which Stein filled out yearly between 1958 and 1976, with a few missing forms. Though the information contained in the forms is somewhat repetitive, they do provide a brief yearly synopsis of the classes Stein taught, his professional activities, and his publications. The most interesting materials in this series relate to Stein's successful application for a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962-1963.

Included as a part of later accessions are a number of Stein's personal diaries and notebooks. These contain entries on the topics relating to Stein's personal and professional life. On most days Stein would write about his current projects, but occasionally he wrote about his wife Virginia, referring to her as "Ginny" or "Gin."

The series contains a number of folders with photographs of Stein, as well as his family and friends. The photographs depict Stein at events and banquets, accepting awards, and meeting members of the legal community. Also included is a box of various awards and medals that Stein received during his career.

Eric Stein Papers, 1933-2012

44 linear feet (in 45 boxes) — 2 oversize folders

Professor at the University of Michigan Law School. Specialized in International Law, having served in the U.S. Department of State. Stein was born in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic in 1913. The bulk of the Eric Stein collection relates to his research and writings, and his career as a law professor at the University of Michigan. The papers, dated from 1933 through 2012, have been arranged topically into eight series: Biographical, Ford Foundation, Correspondence, Courses, Topical Files, Writings, Czech Constitution, and Research Materials.

The Eric Stein papers consist of his writings, correspondence, and biographical material, spanning his early professional career in the military in the 1930s, through his death in 2011, but primarily focusing on his career as a professor of law at the University of Michigan. The materials received by Stein were donated in three main installments and as such are arranged in this manner. Many of the series contain materials from multiple accessions, but the larger series, such as the correspondence and topical files, are arranged in multiple sub-series. Because sub-series are arranged by accession, there is some overlap in subjects covered as well as dates of material.
