The collection consists of the literary estate papers from two filing cabinets of the offices of the Gone with the Wind Literary

a Japanese musical production of Gone with the wind, plagiarism accusations from Susan Lawrence Davis, David Selznick musical
rights, local museums and Margaret Mitchell namesakes, and fan mail. The 2nd cabinet dealt mainly with a Stephens Mitchell
lawsuit against Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer over sequel rights and includes court documents and correspondence. There are also papers
relating to his lawsuit against Showcase Atlanta for a stage production titled "Scarlett Fever." Also included are printed
material, phonograph records, videotapes, and cassette tapes. Of special interest are letters from Gone With the Wind movie
actors, post-World War II letters from translators of Gone With the Wind in France and Czechoslovakia, a journal of Wilbur
Kurtz written while he was advisor for the filming of the movie, and gossipy letters to Margaret Mitchell from his wife Annie
Laurie Kurtz as she watched the filming.
