The items, then on display at the Krannert Art Museum and Kinkead Pavilion, include James Jones’ heavily hand-edited typescript of “From Here to Eternity,” the H.G. Wells and Carl Sandburg collections, and original photographs from the 1936 Olympics by controversial German photographer Leni Reifenstahl.
