The Clark Ashton Smith papers are organized in 14 series and consist of 25 linear feet of material. It includes over 200 items of his working manuscripts of fiction, mostly in the form of carbon copies that consist of his most famous tales of fantasy. There are also a number of original manuscripts (handwritten and typewritten) of his juvenilia, prose poems (some of which are unpublished or never collected into his volume Poems in Prose), and other fiction. Some of the fantasy tales bear the date of writing, and others bear annotations and revisions by Smith and others to whom he sent the manuscripts before publication.
His poetry manuscripts (nearly 1000 items) are largely handwritten rough drafts, some scribbled on envelopes and other odd scraps of paper. The poems are in English, French, Spanish, and Latin. Many drafts of Smith's translations of French and Spanish poetry exist; of particular note are his translations of Baudelaire, which run the gamut from literal prose translations to rough drafts to final drafts.
Few non-fiction manuscripts exist, but included among them are several drafts of Smith's memoir of the eminent American poet George Sterling (with whom he had engaged in lengthy correspondence) and essays on the aesthetics of poetry and fantasy fiction.
Book-length manuscripts include original typescripts or carbon copies of several of his published books. The Hill of Dionysus, Selected Poems, and other collections of unpublished tales or poems. Most of these letters were prepared by Smith, Mrs. Clark Ashton, after her husband's death.
There are numerous letters from noted figures in modern fantasy and science fiction. In addition, the collection includes correspondence from personal friends and from various publishers. Much of the correspondence discusses Lovecraft, H.P., Sterling, George, and other important literary figures. There is also a series of correspondence by or to Smith by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Timeus Smith, that consists largely of greeting cards received over the years from friends and acquaintances.
The printed material within the collection consists of periodicals or tear sheets of periodicals containing Smith's work. Newspaper clippings of Smith's poetry and whole issues of newspapers (particularly the Auburn Journal, San Francisco Examiner, and other San Francisco Chronicle) are included, and many book catalogs, some from France, others from Germany, Spain, and Holland, are included. Finally, there are a great number of photographs of Smith, his family, and his artwork, and old photographs apparently collected by Smith's parents.
Although Brown University has physical ownership of the collection and the materials contained therein, it does not claim literary rights. Researchers should note that compliance with copyright law is their responsibility. Researchers must determine the owners of the literary rights and obtain any necessary permissions from them

(administrator, Richard Kuhn) in December 1977.
The descriptive comments about individual documents appearing in the inventory reflect only those items and topics appearing within the collection that two processors feel to be of research importance. It is quite likely that other items and topics of historical or literary importance are in the collection but are not described. Researchers, therefore, should search the manuscripts themselves for topics or items not covered below. As such, we encourage researchers to examine carefully the actual manuscripts to insure that all items of potential research significance are identified.

All correspondence. whether typed or handwritten (including rejection slips) in this section are organised alphabetically by author (save where one letter is enclosed within another letter, in which case the enclosed letter remains with the covering letter, but is indexed). The letters are then arranged chronologically within the alphabetical sequence. Where they exist, envelopes have been left with the original correspondence. Often letters are filed by the organisation from which they emerged (e.g. Weird Tales), not by the actual author. It the author is of significance, he or she is then listed in parentheses following the entry. Unknown or unidentified correspondence follows at the rear of this entire series and is unorganised.

All items are arranged alphabetically by title. There has been no distinction made between poems in English and those in other languages. Smith translated poetry both to and from English. In all instances, the poem is listed by its English title, with foreign titles following in parentheses. If there is no English title to these poems, the work is listed under the foreign title and indication of its language has been made. Poems with variant titles have been listed under the earliest title or the one which predominates. Untitled or unidentified poetry follows at the rear of this series.

The non-fiction series is organized similarly to the series of fiction manuscripts. If a work is anything but a carbon of a typed manuscript (i.e., autograph manuscript, typed manuscript original), it will have no description, except a page count, and other comments relevant to its condition. The manuscripts are in alphabetical order by title.

All works arranged alphabetically by the author of the original work and, within an author, alphabetically by title. The section is divided into a) translations from Baudelaire; and b) translations from other authors. Precedence has been given to foreign titles as opposed to English titles; the latter follow the former. If no copies of a translation bear a foreign title, then the work is listed under the English title. One unidentified translation follows at the rear of the entire series.
