Emory University to House Alice Walker Archives

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker has decided to donate her papers to Emory University in Atlanta. Walker, best known for her novel The Color Purple, is a Georgia native who has lectured frequently at Emory.

The archive includes early drafts of many of her published works, correspondence with editors and others, and journals that she has kept since she was 14 years old.
