Subject Files contains both correspondence and other materials ordered into one alphabetical sequence. Subjects covered in this section include conferences (documenting Kish's involvement in the planning of and his attendance at), correspondence with publishers, and other topics. Under the sub-heading "Personal," some of Kish's private life is revealed, especially his becoming a United States citizen and his retirement from the U-M. While Kish was in Sweden conducting research for his biography of A. E. Nordenskiold, his secretary kept fairly complete records for him of events in Ann Arbor. This is found in the "Sweden to Ann Arbor Office" folder. Both Kish's life and interests can be glimpsed by glancing through the headings of the Subject Folders.
