Scope and Contents
The materials in this collection were created between 1945 and 1969. They include complete sets of manuscripts of several novels, plays, screenplays, correspondence, published editions, and reviews. Of chief importance is the autograph manuscript of "Catch-22," which shows several stages of revisions, from the early stages to the final versions, and the important editorial relationship Heller had with his editor, Robert Gottlieb. The collection also includes the manuscripts for the TV series "McHale's Navy," and for the play "We Bombed in New Haven." In addition, this collection includes signed first editions and translations of "Catch-22" into several languages. The files are organized by title with subseries of manuscripts, correspondence, background material, and reviews. Series III, "We Bombed in New Haven," is organized chronologically.

Collection Inventory
"Catch-22", 1945-1967 Date: 1945-1967 Scope and Contents
This series is divided into four sub-series and consists of different materials related to "Catch-22" at several stages. Sub-series 1 contains autograph and typed manuscripts, corrected galleys from the publisher Simon & Schuster, and written material that never appeared in the final publication. This sub-series also includes an annotated copy of "Catch-22" with extensive handwritten notes in the margins, intended to clarify and explain sections of the novel for a motion picture version. Sub-series 2 contains letters expressing the reception of Catch-22 from the general public, as well as correspondence with producers and writers, such as Tony Curtis and John Steinbeck. In addition, there is correspondence relating to foreign editions of "Catch-22" from several countries. Sub-series 3 contains charts used to outline characters and events in the novel chronologically; annotated photographs from a "United States Air Corps Squadron Book" that show people and events that inspired some characters in the novel; and maps of Corsica that were drawn from memory for Columbia Pictures. This sub-series also contains chronological descriptions and analysis of characters and events intended to assist in the preparation of the movie version. Sub-series 4 contains news clippings and reviews from different countries, as well as critical essays and interviews with Joseph Heller.
