There are no restrictions on access to the Library's
microfilms of the William Faulkner manuscripts in its
custody; the microfilm may be consulted by any interested
party, and it will be lent through the interlibrary loan
system. Materials are constantly added. Long-term loans may
be arranged. Use of the microfilm will be restricted to the
premises of the borrowing library. No loans will be made to
individuals. Researchers should enquire of the Manuscripts
Division concerning availability of microfilm of
manuscripts that are pertinent to their work. Most of the
literary manuscripts in our collections written by
Faulkner, both holograph and typescript, have also been
published in facsimile in
By the terms of the agreement by which the William Faulkner Foundation transferred the original manuscripts to the University, access to the original manuscripts is restricted (to ensure the survival of the physically-delicate originals) to doctoral candidates at the dissertation stage of their programs, and to certain mature scholars and critics. But even these researchers must demonstrate need to see the originals that goes beyond the requirements of most routine research. A doctoral candidate at the dissertation stage, or other qualified researcher who believes that his or her work requires access to the originals must correspond with the Curator of Manuscripts prior to arrival at the Library to obtain permission for access.
No microfilm, electrostatic, or other types of copies may be made of materials written by William Faulkner that are in our William Faulkner Collections. Other materials in the collections may be copied subject to the normal rules of the Library established under the conditions of the Copyright Act. All copying is performed by the Printing Services Department of the University.
