Pearl Buck collection moves to WVU
By Mackenzie Mays, Staff writer

Renowned author Pearl S. Buck left West Virginia as a baby, and spent most of her life in China...

...When Buck died in 1973, her dozens and dozens of manuscripts were gifted to The Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation and Museum, located at the site of her parents’ farm in Pocahontas County.

But the small museum did not have the proper facilities to store the documents, so West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon took them in for safekeeping.

The collection went largely unknown, until now....
