Collection Overview

The Paul Kwilecki Photographs and Papers span the years 1960-2001 and include black-and-white photographic prints, printing notes, journals, writings, speeches, correspondence related to photography, and other printed material. Although Kwilecki developed an abiding interest in photography in the 1940s, only a very small portion of the images in the collection pre-date 1970. The collection is organized into two major series: a Photographic Materials Series containing 582 black and white prints (543 11x14 prints and 39 oversized prints), and a Manuscript Series containing correspondence, writing and speeches, printed material, biographical information, and journals. The bulk of the collection consists of Kwilecki's black-and-white prints documenting life in Decatur County,Georgia, an undertaking he began as a self-taught photographer in 1960 and which continues into the present.
The larger Photographic Materials Series is arranged topically. The topics photographed by Kwilecki point to his personal interests, but more so to his perception of that which most accurately documents Decatur County and its inhabitants. While initially interested in photographing the shade tobacco workers of Decatur County, Kwilecki turned his focus to other subjects. Among those included in the collection are: religion (the most extensively addressed), social events,county fairs,agriculture,industry,workers,shoppers,stores,houses and landscapes. Other images in the collection document the life and environment of the Decatur County Court House, many Decatur County cemeteries, the Flint River,Willis Park,Battle's Quarters (an African-American neighborhood), and the Trailways Bus Station.
While small in comparison to Kwilecki's photographic archive, the Manuscript Series also provides an interpretation of life in Decatur County as well as documenting Paul Kwilecki's own life as a documentary photographer. Items in this series primarily date from the 1970s, except for correspondence and the journals, which contain materials from the 1960s. Many of Kwilecki's writings attempt to discuss in words the same topics he tried to illuminate through photography (such as the Flint River, the Trailways Bus Station, and the Decatur County Court House). Similarly, many of Kwilecki's speeches in the collection address his love for Decatur County and his desire to document the lives and culture of the people who live there. The correspondence related to Kwilecki's work and career as a photographer, and the journals, comprise the largest groupings. The series also contains news clippings, exhibition brochures, Kwilecki's printing notes, and a brief internet biography of Kwilecki. The journals, dating from 1967 to 1969, are of a personal nature and related to Kwilecki's development as a photographer and as interpreter of a particular Southern culture; they are restricted and may not be used unless Kwilecki's written permission is given.

Detailed Description of Collection

Photographic Materials Series, 1960-2001 (bulk 1970s-1990s)

This series includes 582 black and white prints (543 11x14 prints and 39 oversized prints). Kwilecki identified prints by a unique number indicating the roll number, the month and year, and the frame number. However, there are quite a few without print numbers, and these are designated as "Print, no number." He also normally supplied a title and a date, although some have no title. All photographs were taken by Kwilecki in order to document the life and culture of Decatur County, Ga. and the individuals who live there. Boxes PHO 1-10 contain prints arranged topically under the following main headings arranged and designated by Kwilecki: Decatur County Court House; Cemeteries; County Fairs; Battle's Quarters; Bainbridge, Ga.; Agriculture; Flint River, Ga.; Industry; Houses; Landscapes; Laura Pope; Pear Orchard; Portraits; Religion; Shoppers; Shade Tobacco; Social Events; Stores; Swine Time; Trailways Bus Station; Workers; and Willis Park. The largest grouping is under Religion (8 folders). The Portraits Series includes a self-portrait of Kwilecki.
Within these topical groupings, prints are sometimes arranged chronologically (though never consistently so) or grouped together under "sub-topics." The descriptive captions to the prints in Boxes PHO 1-10 (in quotes) are supplied by Kwilecki, often in the first person. So too, the title Understandings has been included with various prints to indicate that they appear in Kwilecki's book of that name, published in 1981. Oversized Box 1 contains oversized prints whose arrangement corresponds to the main series headings listed above. As in boxes PHO 1-10, certain prints also include Kwilecki's photographic captions and/or the title Understandings. Titles or dates in brackets have been supplied by the processing archivist.
