William Humphrey Papers, 1932-1992 (bulk 1944-1992).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122365907

Typed and holograph manuscripts, notebooks, correspondence, clippings, photographs, audio recordings, and printer's and galley proofs document William Humphrey's writing, life, and family. The Works series contains manuscript material for all of Humphrey's books and many of his short stories. Also included are drafts of lectures he presented at Washington and Lee University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Notebooks located throughout the series provide particular insight into Humphrey's life and writing. In varying detail, they contain hand written outlines, notes, revisions, commentary, and typed fragments that trace the creation of his published and unpublished works. The Correspondence series consists almost entirely of incoming correspondence to Humphrey dating from the mid 1940s to the early 1990s. Much of the correspondence documents the business aspects of Humphrey's writing, such as publication, promotion, sales, reviews, and copyright. A few letters include drafts or copies of Humphrey's replies. The Subject Files series includes general clippings, biographical and bibliographical records, personal memorabilia, travel brochures and maps, and several short works by students and other writers. Also present are a large number of photographs, including several of Humphrey as a child in Clarksville.
