Included in the archive are journals Walker had kept over the years, drafts of many of her early works of fiction, and correspondence between her and the editors of her books.  Rudolph Byrd, professor of American studies at Emory, said at the time of the acquisition that Walker's papers "give you a sense of the process for creating fiction, creating poetry."
