Processing Information

This collection is currently being reprocessed. We are organizing and describing this collection—which spans 180 different catalog records—to create a single William Faulkner Collection (MSS 16807) and finding aid that will improve access and discoverability. Additional collection material not yet listed in this guide can be found by searching the library catalog (Virgo) and the Archival Resources of the Virginias (ARVAS) website.

The William Faulkner collection has historically been represented by numerous different manuscript numbers (collection identifiers). MSS 16807 is a new manuscript number which serves to identify the collection as a whole. Original manuscript numbers have been retained in this guide and are noted in the title of each item.

In this example, the original manuscript number is 6074, and "Series IA, Item 9b" refers to the item's original location within MSS 6074, prior to reprocessing.
