Lawrence Clark Powell was a noted writer and librarian. Powell was
well-known for his writings on librarianship and the literature of the American
Southwest, including books such as Books West Southwest and Southwest Classics.
He served as head librarian at UCLA from 1944 to 1961, when he became the
founding dean of the UCLA Graduate School of Library Service. After retiring
from UCLA, Powell moved to Tucson, Arizona in 1971, where he served as a
Professor in Residence at the University of Arizona's newly-established
Graduate School of Library Science. He played a major role in the development
of the School as well as the University of Arizona Library until the late
1980s. Powell died in Tucson on March 14, 2001 at the age of 94.
Collection consists primarily of files maintained by Lawrence Clark
Powell during his residency in Tucson and his tenure at the University of
Arizona. Includes correspondence, research files, transcripts of talks, and
manuscripts of a variety of books and articles. Much of the collection
documents his activities at the University of Arizona, as well as writings he
completed during the 1970s and 1980s. Selected correspondents include Edward
Abbey, Ansel Adams, Bruce Babbitt, and Paul Horgan. Most of the collection is
maintained in the original order in which the files were kept by Powell.
