The Donley Watt Papers span the years from 1970 to 2004. The collection includes correspondence, photographs, clippings, notes, drafts, and computer discs. The bulk of the papers is focused on the writings of his published works from 1994 to 2004: Can You Get There From Here; The Journal of Hector Rabinal; Haley, Texas 1959; Reynolds; and Dancing with Lyndon. Other materials in the collection concern Watt’s short story ideas, essays, and reviews. Short story and essay titles often are repeated in Series III and Series IV. This follows the original arrangement of the collection by Donley Watt. There are five series in the collection: Personal Papers, 1970-2004; Novels, 1994-2004; Short Fiction; Other Writings; Media.
