Scope and Contents

Contains photographs of María Rosa Oliver spanning her infancy to the 1970s, by various photographers in Argentina, the U.S., and other countries, and photographs of other writers, actors, and friends who were friends of Oliver. In this series, the photographs of María Rosa Oliver and her family members are first, followed by the photographs of Oliver's friends and acquaintances. The photographs of Oliver and her family members are arranged in chronological order, though many photographs are undated, and, thus, the dates are guesses. The photographs of people other than Oliver and her family are arranged alphabetically by the person's surname.

The photographs of María Rosa Oliver include one folder of photographs on the Lenin International Prize (for the Establishment of Peace between Peoples), awarded to Oliver in 1957 and presented to her in Buenos Aires on June 9, 1958. There are also snapshots of María Rosa Oliver with Victoria Ocampo, Eduardo Mallea, and Waldo Frank (filed under both Oliver and Frank). This series also contains seven photographs by the American photographer George Platt Lynes, who from 1948 to 1955, worked as a fashion photographer in New York for Town and Country, Vogue and other magazines. This series includes photographs by Lynes of Oliver, Lincoln and Fidelma Kirstein, Katherine Anne Porter, Glenway Wescott, and a possible self-portrait. Photographs of other writers include Miguel Angel Asturias, Vinícius de Moraes, and Ilya Ehrenburg. There are also photographs of Oliver on her travels to conferences around the world, and there is one photograph of Oliver meeting Mao Tse-tung in China in 1953. Also of interest are two photographs of Fidel Castro in the Soviet Union (one of him walking with Nikita Kruschev) taken by a photographer of the Tass Agency.
