Jay Kay Klein had extensive correspondence with authors, publishers, and science fiction fans. He also corresponded a fair bit regarding photography and amateur radio. Topics covered in the correspondence include inquiries to use his photographs and providing payment and credit lines for that use, issues regarding copyright and the use of his photographs without permission, convention matters (invitations, attendance, planning, and general discussions of cons), fandom and fandom concerns, publishers and publishing, photography, and amateur radio.
Unidentified correspondence has been sorted into two categories, TO and FROM Klein, and placed at the end of this series.

The correspondence is generally arranged alphabetically by last name. For correspondence with individuals operating on behalf of a corporate body, or other organization, the letters are filed under the name of that corporate body. As an example: one can find correspondence with Ben Bova in the Analog and SFWA correspondence files. Correspondence pertaining to convention programming is placed in the Convention Series with the appropriate convention, though there is plenty of discussion of conventions within this Correspondence Series as well.
