From the Collection:

This collection contains articles by and about Joseph Marshall Krechniak and his wife, Helen Bullard Krechniak. Materials pertaining to Joseph Marshall date from the 1930's to the early 1950's. These include manuscripts of his short stories, clippings of his published stories (originally bound in a photo album), and photocopies of these articles. This collection also contains some of the reference books used by Joseph Marshall in his writing as well as various notes.

The Helen Bullard materials range from the 1930's through 2003. Most of the correspondence is from Helen Bullard. The majority of her collection consists of articles and brochures about her doll making. One example of Helen Bullard's craft work can be found in this collection - a hand-carved donkey with a fur hat, carved as a souvenir of the 1952 or 1956 presidential election. Most of her papers and craft work reside at The Southern Highlands Craft Guild.

Also contained in this collection is material related to Stamps with a Story, a business venture of the Krechniak's. The premise of the business was that they would supply the story behind the stamps for stamp collectors.
