Access Restrictions

There are no restrictions on access to the Library's microfilms of the William Faulkner manuscripts in its custody; the microfilm may be consulted by any interested party, and it will be lent through the interlibrary loan system. Materials are constantly added. Long-term loans may be arranged. Use of the microfilm will be restricted to the premises of the borrowing library. No loans will be made to individuals. Researchers should enquire of the Manuscripts Division concerning availability of microfilm of manuscripts that are pertinent to their work. Most of the literary manuscripts in our collections written by Faulkner, both holograph and typescript, have also been published in facsimile in William Faulkner Manuscripts, 25 vols. (New York: Garland, 1986-1987).

By the terms of the agreement by which the William Faulkner Foundation transferred the original manuscripts to the University, access to the original manuscripts is restricted (to ensure the survival of the physically-delicate originals) to doctoral candidates at the dissertation stage of their programs, and to certain mature scholars and critics. But even these researchers must demonstrate need to see the originals that goes beyond the requirements of most routine research. A doctoral candidate at the dissertation stage, or other qualified researcher who believes that his or her work requires access to the originals must correspond with Special Collections prior to arrival at the Library to obtain permission for access.

No microfilm, electrostatic, or other types of copies may be made of materials written by William Faulkner that are in our William Faulkner Collections. Other materials in the collections may be copied subject to the normal rules of the Library established under the conditions of the Copyright Act. All copying is performed by the Printing Services Department of the University.

Acquisition Information

This collection of William Faulkner's manuscripts was originally deposited in the Library by the author on 11 June 1959. It remained in the Library as Mr. Faulkner's property until 19 December 1966, when, under the terms of Mr. Faulkner's will, the collection became the property of the William Faulkner Foundation. On 13 April 1970 the announcement was made that title to the collection had been deeded by the Foundation to the University of Virginia. Additions to the collection have been made at various times.

Scope and Content

The Collection includes holograph and typescript material from nineteen published novels, two unpublished novels, thirty-two published and ten unpublished short stories, twenty-five published and eight unpublished pieces of verse eight movie or television scripts, two miscellaneous manuscripts, three essays, five speeches, and twenty miscellaneous items.

Arrangement

The series and items have been arranged in the order used by Meriwether in his volume, The Literary Career of William Faulkner ( Princeton, 1961). Where it has been impossible to follow Meriwether's system exactly, notes facilitating comparison of the present Guide to his book have been included. References to "Massey" are to Linton R. Massey's William Faulkner: "Man Working," 1919-1962, A Catlogue of the William Faulkner Collections at the University of Virginia Library (Charlottesville, 1968). The latter volume contains chiefly information on the printed William Faulkner materials held by Special Collections but has a section devoted to the manuscripts.

All items are accession 6074 except as otherwise noted. Abbreviations: p. (pages); R (rectos); V (verses); l. (leaves)
