Literary rights:
Literary rights were granted to Wichita State University. When permission is granted to examine the manuscripts, it is not an authorization to publish them. Manuscripts cannot be used for publication without regard for common law literary rights, copyright laws and the laws of libel. It is the responsibility of the researcher and his/her publisher to obtain permission to publish. Scholars and students who eventually plan to have their work published are urged to make inquiry regarding overall restrictions on publication before initial research.

Restrictions: None

Content note:
The W. A. Webb Papers contain two personal handwritten notebooks describing the events of Webb's life while he attended Fairmount College (Academy) during the years 1897-1899. These diaries give us an idea of what preparatory school was like in Wichita at the turn of the century and glimpses into the early history of WSU. This collection also includes five photographs, four of which are of W. A. Webb and one of Ewing Collett, Webb's room-mate during the 1896-97 school year.

Acquisition: Donated by Allen N. Webb
