Kennedy library officials said on Wednesday the Cuban Culture Ministry 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,” as well as correspondence with Robert Capa, Marlene Dietrich, Sinclair Lewis, Lillian Ross, Ingrid Bergman and various members of his family.
The documents had formerly 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.
