Provenance
William Carlos Williams Papers contains material of mixed provenance acquired by gift or purchase from various sources, as indicated in this finding aid and on individual folders. The bulk of the papers were purchased from William Carlos Williams. In 1940 and 1941, Williams donated to Yale University Library a large group of little magazines that he intended to discard. Through 1953, Williams occasionally sent copies of his published works to complete the Yale Library's collection. In 1953, after having donated materials for over a decade, Williams stated that he was considering the future of his manuscripts and considered Yale an appropriate place for them. In 1955, purchasing negotiations were complete. Between 1969 and 1970, John Thirlwall gave the library papers given to him by Williams for Thirlwall's work on The Selected Letters of William Carlos Williams (see Series VIII, John Thirlwall Materials). Among the materials were letters that individuals lent to Williams upon his request to help Thirlwall publish the letters, but the originals were never intended to be lent to anyone other than Williams. Subsequently, individuals requested that Thirlwall return the letters, and these requests for the return of originals continued after their arrival at Yale. Yale returned the originals and retained photocopies., Gift of Robert Wells Carton, September 1988
