A faculty guide to resources about James Baldwin and his works.

Yale University Collection

"Available online are early drafts of Go Tell It On the Mountain and selected correspondence. The drafts are drawn from the James Baldwin Early Manuscripts and Papers, a larger collection of material documenting a short period of Baldwin’s young adult life between 1941-1945, when Baldwin was just beginning his literary career. Currently, only a portion of these papers are available online."
