The Peter H. Taylor Collection is a gift from Hubert H. McAlexander, who authored a book on Taylor's life. The collection closely mirrors the format of the book, but also includes material that McAlexander chose to cut from the final project. Materials found in the collection include personal correspondence between McAlexander and Eleanor Ross Taylor and personal friends of Taylor, research notes and photocopied materials from various holdings of Peter Taylor material, and newspaper clippings/reviews concerning Peter Taylor's life and work. Also included are photographs and oral histories on cassette tapes.
