These articles span the years from 1961-1980 while David Mumford was an active researcher in the area of algebraic geometry. This volume includes many important papers previously omitted. Mumford's correspondence with Grothendieck is also included.

David Mumford was Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. In 1974 he was awarded the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Vancouver.
