Biographical/Historical Note

John Dann MacDonald was born July 24, 1916 in Sharon, Pennsylvania. While attending Syracuse School of Business, MacDonald met Dorothy Prentiss, and they were married in 1937. He went on to attend Harvard Business School and received an M.B.A. in 1939. Their son, John Prentiss, was born in 1939.

During the war, MacDonald served in South Asia as Ordnance Officer for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). In 1945 he sent a short story to Dorothy, who without his knowledge, submitted it to Story magazine where it was bought for $25.00 He arrived home after his discharge from military service in 1945, and when Dorothy told him of the short story sale to Story magazine, he decided to write full-time.

That first short story, "Interlude in India," appeared in Story magazine in the July/August 1946 issue. He continued selling his short stories to magazines, and in 1950 published his first novel, The Brass Cupcake. By the time of his death on Dec. 28, 1986 he had written nearly 500 short stories, and published 78 books.

He was given the Grandmaster Award in 1972 by the Mystery Writers of America; The American Book Award (1980); the Ben Franklin Award (1955); and was Guest of Honor at the Mystery Writers of America Annual Bouchercon in 1983. Numerous other awards, including Honorary Doctorates from Hobart, William Smith, and the University of South Florida were given to him as well.

MacDonald first visited Florida in 1949, and after spending winters in the Clearwater and Sarasota area, bought a house in 1952 on Point Crisp, Sarasota, and lived there until 1969, when he and Dorothy moved into a new home built for them on Siesta Key.

MacDonald contributed to anthologies and magazines, assisted in film and television adaptations of his writings, taught at New College, served on the board of directors of the Ringling School of Art, and participated in local environmental preservation efforts.

He is best known for his series of detective novels featuring the protagonist Travis McGee, and is acknowledged as a master of the adventure-thriller genre. His books continue to earn praise from readers, and lasting respect from fellow authors.


Scope and Content

The John D. MacDonald Collection is comprised of manuscripts of the author's novels and other writings, personal and professional correspondence, screenplays and adaptations, reviews, family papers, photographs, audiovisual recordings, ephemera, financial records and business correspondence. The oldest items in the collection, particularly family photographs, date from the early 1800s, and the most recent items are from the late 1990s. However, the bulk of the materials date from 1916 to 1986, spanning MacDonald's life.

MacDonald was a prolific letter writer and his correspondents include Dan Rowan, editor Knox Burger, agent Max Wilkinson, and authors such as Richard Glendinning, Stephen King, John Jakes, Walter and Jean Shine, and Kurt Vonnegut. The collection also includes a large amount of fan mail and correspondence with his publishers at Fawcett, Doubleday, Harper and Row, and Lippincott, among others.

Throughout this collection description, MacDonald's name is abbreviated as JDM and his wife, Dorothy Prentiss MacDonald, is frequently abbreviated as DPM. Several folder titles throughout the collection include commentaries written by MacDonald. These commentaries are included in parentheses and designated with quotation marks.

The Collection is organized in multiple groups, or series: Personal Papers; Professional Papers; Manuscripts and Publications Written by John D. MacDonald; Works by Other Authors and Secondary Sources; Audiovisual Materials; Ephemera and Memorabilia; and Financial Records. Many of these series are further subdivided into smaller logical groups:

The Personal Papers series is comprised of three groups. The Personal Correspondence includes correspondence with friends and family members, as well as some professional contacts who shared a personal relationship with the MacDonalds. The Family and Personal Papers include correspondence and biographical information about JDM's family members and military service, material pertaining to personal property (homes, boats, etc.), medical correspondence, obituaries, calendars, and address books. The Dorothy Prentiss MacDonald Papers include her personal correspondence, materials related to her paintings, and a number of notebooks and quote collections.

The Professional Papers series is comprised of ten groups. The Professional Correspondence primarily pertains to MacDonald's profession as an author, and includes correspondence with agents, publishers, editors, members of the media, and other authors. The Business Correspondence includes correspondence of a business nature unrelated to the profession of writing, such as the sale of vehicles or property, the purchase of office equipment, personal investments and finances, etc. The Academic Materials series contains materials related to MacDonald's involvement with various academic institutions such as New College, Ringling School of Art, and the University of Florida. The Movies and Television series includes correspondence, publicity and clippings about movies and television productions based on MacDonald works. The Contracts series includes legal contracts, correspondence, royalty reports, and other materials related to the publishing of specific works. The Correspondence with Authors and Artists includes letters with other authors (established and novice), artists, and actors. The Promotional Materials series includes correspondence and materials related to various promotional ventures that were not related to any specific work. The Affiliations series includes correspondence, memos, newsletters, and news clippings related to MacDonald's professional affiliations, including the Crime Writers Association, the Mystery Writers of America, the Writer's Guild of America, and the Sarasota writers' "Friday Lunch Bunch." The Civic and Political Affairs series includes correspondence, clippings, publications, and other materials related to MacDonald's various civic and political concerns, including environmental issues, political campaigns, and invitations for public appearances. The Fan Mail series includes correspondence to and from readers.

The Manuscripts and Publications series is comprised of five groups. The Novels group contains typescripts, galleys, desk notes, correspondence, publicity, and news clippings pertaining to MacDonald's published novels and unpublished works. The Short Works series includes poetry, series, anthologies, plays, television scripts by MacDonald, short stories, collective works, and special edition works. The Speeches and Interviews series includes interview questions, articles, broadcasts, speeches given and public appearances. The Articles series includes articles written by MacDonald for publication in magazines and newspapers, as well as requests for MacDonald to critique other authors and letters to the editor. The Blurbs series includes appreciations, articles that mention JDM, quotes, news clippings with published photographs of JDM, and requests for JDM's thoughts on works by other authors.

The Secondary Sources and Works by Other Authors series is comprised of seven groups: Articles and Publications by Other Authors (including items written about Travis McGee), Critical Reviews, Academic Research (e.g., theses, essays, and scholarly journal articles), Screenplays, Bibliophile and Fanzines, Publicity and Advertisements, and Reference Files.

The Audio Visual Materials series is comprised of photographs and audio and video materials in several different formats.

In addition to the series described above, note that the collection also includes an Oversize Materials group. This series contains materials that are too large for regular folders and boxes. Some materials in Oversize are magazines, newspapers, artwork created for JDM, ephemera, movie posters, photographs, etc.

Processing History

The John D. MacDonald Collection was partially processed by Department staff upon its original deposit in the 1970s. Additional processing occurred in the 1980s and 1990s after the Collection was formally transferred to the Smathers Libraries upon MacDonald's death in 1986. In 2008-2009 the Collection was rearranged to improve access. This collection description reflects the current arrangement of the Collection, but previous collection descriptions are retained on file in the Department. Several staff members participated in the processing, including archivist Florence Turcotte and students Jess Campbell, Tiffany Baglier, Travis Lajoie, Rachel Walton, and Meaghan Monaghan. Expert consultation was provided by Cal and Nola Branche.

Contents List

Personal Papers



Series 1A - Personal Correspondence

Contains JDM's correspondence with friends and family members, as well as some professional contacts who shared a personal relationship with the MacDonalds. Correspondents are filed alphabetically by last name (if available - first name or initial if not). When searching for a particular correspondent, it is recommended to search under both first and last names (including variations on nicknames), as many letters are not formally signed and are, therefore, difficult to identify. Correspondents who are particularly important or with whom there is a large amount of material are filed in their own individual files.

Series 2F - Correspondence with Authors and Artists

Contains correspondence with other authors (established and novice), artists, and actors. Correspondents are filed alphabetically by last name (if available - first name or initial if not). When searching for a particular correspondent, it is recommended to search under both their first and last names (including variations on nick names), as many letters are not formally signed and are therefore difficult to identify. Correspondents for whom there is a large amount of material are filed in their own individual files.
