If I were King, I seriously rethink allowing the Folger Library people to handle my offerings. Such a thing happening indicates some serious deficiencies in their procedures.

I'd be happy to go and tidy it (if they pay the traveling;..)

One of the items the authors of Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished is They Bite, a screenplay, which was not written by King, but by Dan O'Bannon - a trial script, if you like, before he wrote Alien instead. I'm not sure why it's in King's collection, maybe he was given the chance to read and enjoy, comment, even rewrite, but so far I've only been able to Google a lot of articles where it clearly shows it's written by O'Bannon - who, by the way, never mentions King at all in connection with this script.
Im hopefully going to be visiting maine next autum thanks to my Grandmother, i would love a look in that place!
You should check ahead, as they might not be available for public viewing at this time.
Yes. The last news I got was that since there was such a mess with the boxes, the boxes were now not available for the public to see.
Maybe they're "back" already. Check with the University library.

I'm still wondering about that CARRIE 'foundry proof'. Is that the mythical oblong 'true' proof?
They still have the They Bite screenplay listed, but that was not written by King, but he probably got a copy from Dan O'Bannon to read and enjoy.

Did SK's house already opened as a museum? I remember reading that the Foggler collection was to be moved there.
I know it'd not be open for anyone but I haven't heard about that project since it was announced a couple of years ago.

COVID slowed down their plans. I was able to work with the curator to get some documents for my latest book, but I don't think anything is open.

My understanding was that it would be archives (probably personal archives, and getting back the Fogler ones), not a museum

Yeah, I didn't know how to put it in English so I added it wasn't going to be opened.
Thanks Bev for the insight! Was this info added to your recently published book or an upcoming one?

I think a lot of the material has been--or in the process of being--digitized. The documents I requested had already been scanned.
