Biographical / Historical
Born on December 16, 1917, in Minehead, England, Arthur Charles Clarke became obsessed withscience fiction and astronomy at a young age. He was the eldest of four children born into a farmingfamily, however he would become, with his brother Fred Clarke acting as a business associate, one of theleading names in science fiction.
During World War II Clarke served as a radar instructor and in his free time became one of the earlymembers of the British Interplanetary Society. In 1945, Clarke made one of his earliest predictions (hecalled them "extrapolations") when he came up with the idea of communication satellites. He becameknown for this uncanny prescience which is seen in so much of his work.
In 1948 Clarke graduated from King's College, London with honors in math and physics. By 1951, Clarkehad gained respect as both a fiction and non-fiction writer with Interplanatary Flight and Prelude to Space,respectively.
In 1956, Clarke emigrated to Sri Lanka, then known as Ceylon, where he could indulge a new obsession -skin diving. He remained in Sri Lanka for the rest of his life, creating a diving company and funding manyscience education programs in the country.
Perhaps Clarke's most recognizable feat came when he was able to work with Stanly Kubrick over acourse of 4 years in order to create the book and film 2001: A Space Odyssey which was loosely basedon the earlier Clarke story "The Sentinel."
Clarke accomplished an amazing amount of writing, speaking tours, TV appearances and humantarianwork despite suffering from post-polio syndrome for decades. He won numerous awards, mostly for hisscience fiction but also for popularizing science. He was knighted in 1998. He died, age 90, March 19,2008.

Original order by the creator was chronological by year, split into 2-3 months at a time, then alphabetically.Sometimes correspondence was in store-bought file folder with sections, sometimes in handmade"binders" but always the same arrangement. Archivist physically re-created this arrangement by usingpaper wrappers to represent each section. When the section was labeled by the creator, the archivistlabeled the paper wrapper the same. If paper wrapper is blank then so was the original section tab.
There are some missing years in the correspondence. Misc. correspondence found loose in the collectionwas placed at the end of the series.
When appropriate, the processing archivist added a description beneath the file unit title.
