Note on Series: 

This series consists of materials relating to Eudora Welty's book, Twenty Photographs (Winston-Salem, N.C.: Palaemon Press, 1980). Some material was added from the gift of Welty's Estate, and it is indicated by bold font. The descriptions of the material included in the original donation are drawn from those created by Suzanne Marrs for her work The Welty Collection: A Guide to the Eudora Welty Manuscripts and Documents at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (Jackson and London: University Press of Mississippi, 1988). Some material has been re-housed for better preservation.
