Scope and Contents
The M. Whipple Bishop papers largely consist of a collection of publications in Esperanto or about the language. Included are scattered issues of a variety of periodicals, with an extensive run of the American Esperanto Magazine (1910-1967); songbooks in Esperanto; advertisements; flash cards; and assorted ephemeral literature such as leaflets, booklets, and programs from the Esperanto Association of North America. There is one folder of correspondence in the collection, arranged chronologically, 1908-1978, which contains an exchange of ideas about Esperanto with his fellow thinkers, including George Alan Connor. Of special interest is a series of official bulletins in Esperanto, 1914-1915, released by the German government through its foreign office in Leipzig in an attempt to state its position in World War I. There are also photographs, many of them snapshots from an Esperanto Conference at Rolla, Missouri held in 1961.
