Linton Massey Papers Relating to the William Faulkner Collection and the William Faulkner Foundation 1926-1974 6271-a ca. 1050 English Administrative Information Access Restrictions

There is no access to the papers by members of the public at this time.

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 William Faulkner Manuscripts, 25 vols (New York: Garland, 1986-87).

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.

Linton Massey Papers Relating to the William Faulkner Collection and the William Faulkner Foundation, , Accession 6271-ai, Special Collections Department, University of Virginia Library

 Acquisition Information

The papers were loaned to the Library by Mrs. Linton R. Massey, executor of Mr. Massey's estate, on November 1974.

 Funding Note

Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities

 Scope and Contents

The Linton R. MasseyPapers consist of ca. 1050 items (ca. 3 linear feet), 1926-1974, and concern only two aspects of Mr. Massey life: his collection of material for the William Faulknercollection at the University of Virginia Library; and his work as president of the William Faulkner Foundation. The first group includes correspondence with Faulkner scholars (especially biographer Joseph Blotner) and with fellow collectors, as well as some miscellaneous material. The papers from his period as president of the Foundation include correspondence about the Foundation scholarships and awards to students and novelists, access and use of the Faulkner manuscript, and the general business and financial records of the Foundation.

 Organization

The papers have been kept in the two groups in which they were found in Mr. Massey's library study after his death. The division between the two groups, the personal papers and those of the Foundation, is not distinct, and the researcher is advised to examine both for any topic of interest. Each group is arranged alphabetically by topic.
