BOSTON—Copies of about 3,000 letters and documents from the Ernest Hemingway archives at the Cuban National Ministry of Culture have been made available at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston.
Kennedy library officials said Wednesday the Cuban government is sharing copies of the letters and documents written by and to Hemingway while the Nobel Prize winner lived in Cuba from 1939 to 1960.
They include corrected proofs of the novel "The Old Man and the Sea," the final version of a movie script based on that book, and an alternate ending to "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
The documents had only been available to researchers who traveled to Cuba.
The Ernest Hemingway Collection at the JFK Library contains 90 percent of existing Hemingway manuscript materials.
