Harvard Library has digitized Virginia Woolf’s personal photo albums, which feature members of her literary circle as well as her everyday life. The photographs capture Woolf’s life at Monk’s House, the 17th-century cottage in East Sussex, England, where she lived with husband Leonard Woolf from 1919. There are vacation photos and family photos; landscapes and photos of pets; clippings from newspapers and magazines, and other photographs. The albums span the period 1890 to 1947 (including additions by Leonard after Virginia’s death). The photographs are arranged in no particular order. Many of the photos are labeled, many are not, and there are pages left blank.
Among the over 1,000 photographs contained in the six albums there are those of important literary figures, including E.M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes, and W.B. Yeats.
