Preface
In 1957, at the request of Charlotte Capers, Director of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, Eudora Welty began to donate manuscripts, photographs, correspondence, published works, and secondary works about her fiction to the department. She has continued and will continue to do so, and the result is a valuable, extensive, and expanding Eudora Welty Collection.
In 1985 the Department of Archives and History invited me to reorganize and to write a guide to this collection; Patricia Carr Black, Madel Morgan, Christine Wilson, H. T. Holmes, Karin Den Bleyker, and other members of the archives staff provided me with valuable assistance and advice in this undertaking. Most important, Miss Welty herself generously answered my many questions about her manuscripts, photographs, and correspondence. Her conversations with me inform the introductory essays and annotations in this guide; the opportunity to work closely with Eudora Welty has been the most significant experience of my professional life.
The Welty Collection: A Guide to the Eudora Welty Manuscripts and Documents at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History includes five chapters. Chapter one concerns manuscript holdings in the collection. Here I have listed and described typescripts of Welty's many books as well as typescripts of her uncollected and unpublished works; the annotated entries typically do not delineate the nature of revisions to individual typescripts, but I discuss the revisions at some length in the introduction to chapter one. Chapter two describes the negatives and printed photographs in the Welty Collection and includes commentary about selected photographs. Chapter three provides a calendar of the Welty correspondence, a summary of each letter, and an identification of the correspondents and of individuals mentioned in the letters. Chapter four lists the Welty publications that are part of the collection, and chapter five lists the secondary materials Welty has given to the Department of Archives and History. The guide concludes with appendixes citing other collections that are relevant to the study of Welty's fiction.
This guide should make the Welty Collection readily accessible to scholars. It should also complement existing critical discussions of a

remarkable career. Introductory essays to the first three chapters provide background information and comment on the value of the collection. The introduction to the manuscript holdings describes Welty's method of writing and comments on the extent and signficance of her revisions; the introduction to chapter two describes her work as a photographer, the equipment she relied upon, and the relation of her photographs to her fiction; and the introduction to the collected correspondence discusses the biographical significance of correspondence held in the Welty Collectionwhat it reveals about Welty's career, her friendships, her travels, and her fiction. The other chapters in this guide do not really need introductions. The Welty publications and the secondary materials held in the collection (see chapters four and five) have in large part been described in bibliographies by Noel Polk, Victor Thompson, and Pearl McHaney; those bibliographies also list published materials that are not part of the Welty Collection. Scholars interested in reviews of Welty's fiction, however, will find chapter five of signficance, and those interested in unpublished interviews and in Welty's letters to her friends Lehman Engel and Charlotte Capers will find appendix A useful.
