Abstract
Harriette Simpson Arnow Papers Kate Black (bio) On November 17, 2011, the University of Kentucky Libraries officially opened the Harriette Simpson Arnow papers with an exhibit and a program featuring writer, Gurney Norman, and Arnow scholar, Sandra L. Ballard. Housed in the King Library in Special Collections, the papers provide a broad look at Arnow's life and work. Included are materials that document her writing process, from first-draft manuscripts on dime store tablets, through various iterations and drafts, to printer page proofs. Also included are correspondence with family, editors, publishers, and literary agents. Researchers will find mail from readers, photographs, speeches, and materials documenting Arnow's political interests such as opposing Senator Joseph McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee and the Vietnam War, or supporting the ACLU. Book reviews, scholarly articles, and dissertations written about Arnow's work are also featured in the papers as well as materials documenting husband Harold Arnow's life. A detailed finding aid will soon be made available on the Kentuckiana Digital Library site: http://kdl.kyvl.org/ For specific inquiries about the collection, please contact Kate Black, Curator of UK's Appalachian Collection at kate.black@uky.edu or 859-257-4207. To use the papers and inquire about hours of access, email Special Collections Reading Room at sclref@lsv.uky.edu or phone 859-257-8611.
