Administrative/Biographical Note

Brian Charles Daley was born in Englewood, New Jersey on December 22, 1947. An avid reader from an early age and a lover of science fiction, Daley became a New York Times bestselling author for his contributions to the science fiction genre. After graduating from Northern Valley Regional High School in 1965, he joined the army. He served a year long tour of duty in Vietnam and served the rest of his service in Berlin, Germany. Upon his return to the United States, Daley went to Jersey City State College, majoring in media. While completing his studies he wrote his first novel, The Doomfarers of Coramonde (1977). Like many of his generation, Brian Daley was elated when the first Star Wars movie came out. Fundamentally changed by the experience, Daley would go on to write the first Star Wars spin-off novels, and adapt the original Star Wars film trilogy into a series of radio dramas for NPR. Throughout his professional writing career, Daley wrote a number of novels, radio broadcasts, short stories, and contributed to a group of animated series. Daley also wrote under the pseudonym “Jack McKinney” with his friend, James Luceno. Together they would write the Robotech novels and the Black Hole Travel Agency series. Daley died of pancreatic cancer in his Maryland home on February 11, 1996, the same night that the cast of the NPR radio drama, Return of the Jedi, toasted him at their wrap party. He was survived by his partner of 14 years, historical fiction author Lucia St. Clair Robson.

The first series, Writings, contains an assortment of his drafts and manuscripts.

Each of these subseries include manuscripts in a variety of stages of completion, from preliminary drafts to page proofs. The majority of this series is comprised of drafts from his Black Hole Travel Agency, GammaL.A.W., and NPR Star Wars series.

The second series, Research Notes, exhibits the amount of time and effort Brian Daley put into each one of his works. This series contains notes and clippings of articles or images which would later be used in his writings. The folders are titled according to their original titles assigned by Daley. Although the folders materials are maintained in their original order, the folders were rearranged alphabetically for research purposes.

The third series, Correspondence, includes both personal and business material. The business correspondence includes his communication with such companies as Del Rey Books, Dark Horse Comics, Ballantine, and LucasArts between 1978 and 1996. The business colleagues he most often kept in contact were Ellen K. Harris, Lucy Autrey Wilson, Vladimir N. Rybakov, Lester Del Rey, Calvin A Gongwer, and James Luceno. The collection also has a large amount of personal correspondence, including communication between friends, family, fans and fellow Vietnam veterans.

Provenance Information

Provenance and Acquisition Information

The present collection was donated by Lucia St. Claire Robson on October, 18, 2006: MSS 2006-03. An additional accession was made in in 2010 of the posthumuous materials not sent initially: MSS 2010-08 and 2010-11.

Processing Note

The manuscripts arrived in a somewhat disorganized state, but in generally good condition. The collection was donated in fifteen unnumbered cardboard boxes. Much of the collection was already assembled in titled folders, with varying degrees of organization. The names of these folders were maintained but the order of the folders was rearranged to better comprehend the collection as a whole. Most folders were kept in the order they were placed in the boxes. Correspondence was removed from varying folders and rearranged in chronological order. Writings were divided by topic and then organized chronologically by copyright date. All research notes were organized alphabetically. The collection was processed and the finding aid written by Andrea Shahmohammadi under the supervision of Marcia Peri, Archivist, in 2007. Additional accessions were received in 2010 (UARC 2010-08 and UARC 2010-11) pertaining primarily to Brian’s death and condolence letters received. Some remaining personal items are also included, particularly pictures and the logbook from his summer vacation home, Meadowsweet. These materials were added to the overall collection and the finding aid updated accordingly by graduate assistant, Colleen Walter. Oversized materials were rehoused by graduate assistant Colleen Walter in 2011 and the finding aid was updated to reflect these changes.
