The collection title was updated in 2022 by Faith Charlton to be closer in alignment with DACS. Although multiple parties are associated with the collection's provenance, technically making this an assembled collection, the bulk of the collection is from the creator; thus Princeton Univeristy Library was not included in the title as the creator. PUL as a corporate body was added as the collector.

In 2022, restrictions on Ernest Hemingway and J. D. Salinger materials where researchers were required to use surrogates were lifted as part of a restrictions review project.
