Nelle Harper Lee attended Huntingdon College before transferring to the University of Alabama. While a student at Huntingdon, Ms. Lee wrote for several of the College’s student publications. These writings, in addition to copies of articles and correspondence related to the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird and the making of the film, can be viewed in our Archives & Special Collections department. Here, you will also find papers related to the publication of Charles Shields' biography of Harper Lee, Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee (2006), as well as other material related to Ms. Lee’s life.
Security and preservation considerations require that materials not be removed from the Archives & Special Collections area. To make use of these resources, please contact the archives staff. The Archives & Special Collections is, in general, accessible Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
