The Hubert Jennings papers is an extensive collection of materials created or collected by Jennings in the course of his research on the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa focused particularly on the time Pessoa lived in Durban, South Africa. Jennings published a book called Os Dois Exílios: Fernando Pessoa na Africa do Sul (1984) and an English version called Fernando Pessoa in Durban (1986). The collection includes drafts of manuscripts, translations and transcriptions of Pessoa's poetry, correspondence with members of the Pessoa family and with other scholars. The collection also includes Jennings own poetry, stories and essays in draft and published form and a 5 volume handwritten memoir about his life that he called the “Cracked Record.”
