Scope and Content Note
The series consists of artwork, , juvenilia, religious paraphernalia, and linotype blocks created or collected by Flannery O'Connor from 1922-1996. Materials from later dates are printed from Flannery's original works. The artwork consists Flannery's cartoon drawings, sketches, linotype block prints, scrapbooks, and sketchbooks. The cartoon drawings are often of a satirical nature. The juvenilia consists of material that Flannery O'Connor created in her youth, including poetry and other writings, drawings and paintings, notebooks, and scrapbooks. Much of this material relates to O'Connor's time growing up in rural Georgia and depicts O'Connor's extended family and farm scenes. The religious paraphernalia consists of framed art depicting Jesus and Mary as well as medallions of patron saints including Mary, St. Christopher, and St. Odililla. There are also rosary beads and crucifix pendants. The linotype blocks are wooden blocks that depict humorous or awkward scenes that were created during her time in college; many are published in her school yearbooks including The Spectrum (1945) which is located in Series 7, Printed materials.
