Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
Biography/History
Paul Philemon Kies was born at Highland, Illinois, in 1891. In 1915 he received a Master of Arts degree in German from the University of Nebraska and a degree in music from Lincoln Musical College. After teaching high school at Goodland, Kansas, Kies accepted a pastorate in Illinois for two years. He graduated from the Chicago Musical College in 1920, and taught English at Penn College in Iowa until 1924. He then accepted a teaching position at the State College of Washington in Pullman, Washington. In 1928 he received a doctorate in English from the University of Chicago. Kies worked at the State College of Washington until his retirement as Professor Emeritus in 1956. He died at Pullman in 1971.
At the time of Kies' death, this was one of the better private autograph collections in the United States. Kies obtained most items through dealers, concentrating in those areas related to his special interests: literature, history, and the arts. He used this collection for teaching, exhibits, and scholarly articles.
Scope and Content
The autograph collection of Paul Philemon Kies includes autograph letters and autograph signatures of actors, composers, singers, statesmen, educators, writers, political and military figures, and civic leaders. The collection also includes supporting documentation: Kies' research notes, transcriptions, translations, drafts, articles, and exhibit lists and notes, photographs, and miscellaneous items and small collections of papers. The presence of supporting documentation included with autograph items is indicated in the folder descriptions. Date information relates to the autograph items rather than to supporting material.
Arrangement
The collection is arranged alphabetically in three series. During a 2006 preservation project, some items were relocated to Boxes 6 and 7 because of their size. The container listing reflects the original folder sequence (alphabetical order), and includes notations regarding relocation of materials.
