About Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
Historic Photos
In 1950, Marjorie Rawlings gave her manuscripts and correspondence to the University of Florida. This gift was the foundation of a growing collection of Florida writers held by the University's Smathers Library. Over the years, the Rawlings collection has grown with the addition of more manuscripts, books, letters, photographs and other related materials. We thank the staff of the Special Collections Department at the Smathers Library for permission to use the following historic photographs related to the life of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
