ATWOOD, MARGARET
Papers, 1953-ongoing
369 boxes & items (58 metres)
Drafts and final typescripts of her literary works (poems, stories, dramatic
works, novels, non fiction works); original art work; correspondence; a
little juvenilia.
Acquired from the author on a continuing basis, from 1970 to the present.
The major accession occurred in 1981.
Margaret Atwood retains copyright and literary rights to all material
written by her. Requests for permission to publish and extensive
photocopying should be referred to her at:

Atwood home page: http://www.owtoad.com
To photocopy unpublished material, or more than 50 pages of manuscript
the reader must get permission from Margaret Atwood's office, at 416960-6275.
The bulk of the collection consists of holograph drafts and typescripts of
Atwood's literary works. Galleys and page proofs exist for some items but
not for all. First published appearances of poems, short stories, essays,
etc. in periodicals are sometimes included with the drafts but are not as a
rule present in the collection. Many of the periodicals containing her
work are in the Library.
The papers also contains considerable unpublished material, including
poems, short stories, radio and television scripts, drafts of two novels, and
Atwood's unfinished doctoral thesis.
Most of the correspondence in the collection relates to the editing and
publication of literary works. Some personal letters are included in the
earlier correspondence. Personal correspondence after 1967 is restricted.
There is very little memorabilia or printed material documenting Atwood's
career. The focus of the collection is almost completely on Atwood's
literary work. Biographical material exists only for the pre 1967 years.

In this 2004 donation there are some amazing juvenilia, such as handmade booklets and letters from
Atwood to her grandparents. There are samples of Atwood’s artwork from her participation as an
undergraduate at the University of Toronto and, more recently, her participation at the Hay Festival in
Wales with the publication of Bottle. As well, there are examples of her early writings, with essays from
high school and university. Researchers will also find her copious notes and research for Oryx and Crake.
