Manuscripts
The collection, which is made up of approximately 1,110 items, consists of manuscripts and correspondence related to the life and writings of Norreys Jephson O'Conor. The letters are addressed to O'Conor from a number of literary figures, most of them dating from O'Conor's stay in California between 1940 and 1958. There are a sizable number of carbon copies of O'Conor's letters, thus forming in many cases a complete correspondence. The manuscripts are mostly by O'Conor, including notes, autograph and typewritten copies of many of his poems and essays. Correspondents in the collection include: Conrad Potter Aiken, William Rose Benet, Elizabeth Bowen, Van Wyck Brooks, Arthur Bryant, Pearl S. Buck, Charles Bruce Catton, T.S.
