The CSUF Philip K. Dick Papers represent one of the two most important institutional repositories for Dick scholarship (alongside the Huntington Library holdings). The collection contains original manuscripts, correspondence, and related materials spanning Dick's career from the late 1950s through his death in 1982 and the subsequent management of his literary estate through 1985. This finding aid is an essential reference tool for any researcher planning to work with primary Dick materials, providing detailed descriptions of the collection's organization, access conditions, and the scope of holdings.
