The papers of George Garrett (1929-2008), American novelist, poet, playwright, editor, and former University of Virginia English professor, consists of about 30,000 items (104 Hollinger boxes, ca. 43.5 linear feet), chiefly 1930-2008, with some earlier photographs and Garrett family materials dating back to 1855. The collection contains correspondence, manuscripts and typescripts of literary and critical work by George Garrett, interviews, manuscripts and typescripts by other writers, speeches and talks by Garrett, Garrett's articles and other work for the Dictionary of Literary Biography, screenplays, research notes and other research materials, genealogy and family history, photographs, computer disks of his work, and audiocassette tapes. The audio cassette tapes have been transferred to a separate number (MSS 13273-f) to facilitate access, description, and barcoding. Electronic versions of Garrett's work, chiefly interviews and some short stories, are listed in this guide and can be made available to scholars in the Special Collections reading room.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
