William Faulkner (1897-1962) was an American author of novels, short stories, essays, poems, and dramatic works. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949, and was a two-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize. The University of Maryland's William Faulkner papers represents an artificially assembled group of lesser-known writings by and about Faulkner in the form of manuscripts, correspondence, and clippings from literary journals, as well as items related to his life in Oxford, Mississippi, his work in Hollywood, and audio recordings of Faulkner reading his work.
In addition to archival material related to William Faulkner, Special Collections and University Archives hold several of Faulkner's novels which can be found through the library catalog under the location Marylandia and Rare books.

What is a finding aid?
A finding aid is a description of the contents of a collection, similar to a table of contents you would find in a book. A collection's contents are often grouped logically and describe the group of items within each folder. You rarely find descriptions of the individual items within collections. Finding aids also contain information about the size and scope of collections. Additional contextual information may also be included.
