Seán and Colette Hemingway will introduce this opportunity to hear about the creation and content of this exciting digital project from Hilary Justice, the Library’s Hemingway Scholar in Residence.
Designed as a “living website,” the Hemingway at the JFK project offers an ever-evolving exploration of Ernest Hemingway’s life, works, and legacy. The content, written and curated by experts, draws from The Ernest Hemingway Collection at the JFK Library and from an international network of archives, museums, libraries, and historical societies.
The JFK Library stands today as the world’s pre-eminent research center for Ernest Hemingway’s life and work, with the Hemingway collection comprising over 11,000 photographs and nearly 90% of the writer’s known papers, including letters, drafts, and journals.
