Linton Massey Papers Relating to the William Faulkner Collection and the William Faulkner Foundation 1926-1974

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.

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.
