St. Mary's College (Raleigh, N.C.)

The St. Mary's College Thomas Wolfe Collection was founded at St. Mary's College in Raleigh, N.C., in 1975 by Catherine and John O. Fulenwider. The collection contains materials from many different sources. Items such as programs, publications, and clippings related to Thomas Wolfe were actively sought by St. Mary's College archivists and librarians and added to the collection. The largest individual collections are the papers of George McCoy, editor of the "Asheville Citizen Times" and one of the founding members of the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Association, and those of Richard Walser, professor of English at North Carolina State University and noted Wolfe scholar. There are also papers of Edgar E. (Jim) Wolf, Thomas Wolfe's cousin who lived in Gettysburg, Penn., and corresponded occasionally with the Wolfe family in Asheville, N.C., and some papers of Thomas Wolfe's brother, Fred Wolfe. The collection was transferred to the North Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1990.
