Lost Jimmy Memorabilia?

Post by UpstateNYPH »

Has anyone been to U of FL and seen this stuff, or knew about it before? I just found it online and thought some of the items in there were pretty interesting...

I suspect the material is packed away in five cartons and stored in a warehouse maintained by the university.

Thanks for posting this! My son lives in Gainesville and has an office directly across from UF. Methinks my next visit will include some snooping at the library. In fact, my daughter-in-law is a librarian so....
Wonder why UF would have possesion of this stuff though. Hmmmmm...

I assume Jimmy donated it to them.....

It's pretty common for authors to donate "their papers" to universities...

But most major universities have multiple libraries....

I wonder where in Gainsville this stuff is stored? And is it accessible to the public?

oh yeah, thats the first relief past valdosta on the way to spring break ....!

and being a student at IU, i've found that everything is available (public university) but sometimes you have to call/contact and set up an appointment to view certain materials.

basically, if you talk to enough people someone will let you access the stuff -- even if just for an hour.
