1980s, she began collaborating on children s books with photographer, William Muñoz. They have since published over sixty books together.

Processing Note Some materials arrived at the archives organized by subject and this arrangement has been maintained as much as possible. Materials that were not filed with book projects or are not related to book projects have been placed into other series in the collection. Detailed Description of the Collection Series I: Book Projects, 1956-1999 15.75 linear feet This series includes materials from Dorothy Hinshaw Patent s published and unpublished book projects. The materials include original manuscripts, drafts, research, notes, clippings, correspondence, illustrations, photographs, publisher s proofs, galleys, and copies of published books. The manuscript drafts are mostly annotated. It is interesting to note that many of the drafts for Dorothy Hinshaw Patent s early books were composed on the backs of her children s elementary school assignments. This suggests Patent s dual roles as a writer and mother. This series also contains materials from Dorothy Hinshaw Patent s unpublished book projects. In some cases, these book projects only contain research and preliminary writings. The unpublished book projects include: a textbook on animal biology that Patent was coauthoring with her husband that was never finished; a book about rodeos; and a manuscript about pheromones aimed at adults. The quotation marks around folder titles indicate the author s description of the contents. The end of the series contains miscellaneous notes and photographs from unidentified book projects. The series begins with published book projects organized according to full publication titles. The series ends with materials from unpublished book projects.
