Editing Rachel Carson (section)

===Collected papers and posthumous publications===
Carson bequeathed her manuscripts and papers to [[Yale University]] to take advantage of the new state-of-the-art preservations facilities of the [[Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library]]. Her longtime agent and literary executor [[Marie Rodell]] spent nearly two years organizing and cataloging Carson's papers and correspondence, distributing all the letters to their senders so that only what each correspondent approved would be submitted to the archive.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Collection: Rachel Carson papers {{!}} Archives at Yale |url=https://archives.yale.edu/repositories/11/resources/1604 |access-date=July 2, 2023 |website=archives.yale.edu |pages=467–458, 477, 482–448, See also the Beinecke [http://hdl.handle.net/10079/fa/beinecke.carson finding aid for the Rachel Carson Papers]}}</ref>

In 1965, Rodell arranged for the publication of an essay Carson had intended to expand into a book: ''The Sense of Wonder''. The essay, which was combined with photographs by Charles Pratt and others, exhorts parents to help their children experience the "...lasting pleasures of contact with the natural world ... available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea, and sky and their amazing life."<ref name="Murphy 25">Murphy, 25; quotations from ''The Sense of Wonder'', 95. The essay was originally published in 1956 in ''Woman's Home Companion''.</ref>

In addition to the letters in ''Always Rachel'', in 1998, a volume of Carson's previously unpublished work was published as ''Lost Woods: The Discovered Writing of Rachel Carson'', edited by [[Linda Lear]]. All of Carson's books remain in print.<ref name="Murphy 25" />
