Scope and Content Note

This series consists of notes, drafts, typescripts and proofs, and reviews of published works by others about Robert W. Woodruff. It includes materials relating to Charles Elliot's books Ichauway Plantation (1974), A Biography of the Boss (1979) and "Mr. Anonymous," Robert W. Woodruff of Coca-Cola (1982) (a second edition of A Biography of the Boss with additions), as well as Ely Jacques (E.J.) Kahn's Robert Winship Woodruff (1969). This series also contains drafts of articles about Robert W. Woodruff written by Ralph McGill.

In addition, this series includes correspondence about the creation and production of these works; as well as original illustrations. The original illustrations include watercolor paintings by Keats Petree, which were used in Elliots' Ichauway Plantation, and charcoal drawings for Kahn's Robert Winship Woodruff.
