Thanks to a twist of fate, the JFK Library is the major repository of Ernest Hemingway's works, holding nearly 90% of his existing manuscripts, over 11,000 photographs, and his personal papers.

In this episode of JFK35, learn how this came to be from the Library’s Hemingway Scholar in Residence Dr. Hilary Justice, and hear how the Ernest Hemingway Collection played a key role in the new Ken Burns documentary, Hemingway, from two of its filmmakers, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein.
