Victor Wolfgang Von Hagen Papers
Contains material from von Hagen's career as a writer, historian, and explorer. The majority of the collection consists of drafts in varying levels of completeness, as well as notes and correspondence, for von Hagen's writing projects, some of which were never completed or published. Particularly well-represented are The Four Seasons of Manuela (1952), about Manuela Sáenz and Simón Bolívar; The Fourteen Bottles of Boussingault (unpublished?), a translation; The High Voyage: Fernando Colón Sails the Ocean-Sea (unpublished?); South America Called Them (1945), on Charles Darwin and other naturalists; and various projects concerning Frederick Catherwood, John Stephens, and Alexander von Humboldt. The collection also contains several folders of notecards from von Hagen's research on various topics. Von Hagen's advocacy for a research station on the Galapagos Islands is noted in correspondence and writings on the subject. The collection includes a small amount of personal material, including what appear to be travel journals and a partial draft of an autobiography.

The Incas of Cieza de Leon
While previous English translations have been much abridged, and for many years unavailable, this translation of the Inca materials by Harriet de Onís is not only accurate but possesses a superb literary quality of its own. Victor W. von Hagen skillfully interjoined Cieza's two chronicles to read as one, in order to bring "Cieza together with himself after four hundred years of excision."
Los Aztecas
