Papers, 1917-1982 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006907

Collection contains journals; personal and business correspondence; manuscripts of poetry, drama, and fiction; scrapbooks containing clippings of articles and columns by Willis; photos; and correspondence and clippings relating to her civil rights work. The journals are largely introspective, dealing with her family life, including the death of her only son in a motocycle accident, and her life as a writer, with very few references to her public activities. They begin with no. 36, the earlier 35 having been lost or destroyed; the collection includes both the manuscript originals and typed transcripts by Willis, some with editorial changes.
