Trueman E. O'Quinn (1905-1990) was a distinguished Austin jurist and a recognized authority on O. Henry who amassed a diverse and extensive collection of O. Henry artifacts, books, and printed editions of O. Henry's works, manuscripts, photographs, and related materials by and about the writer. A highlight of O'Quinn's fascination with O. Henry is that he conducted personal interviews with every identifiable surviving associate of O. Henry's in Austin, Texas. Trueman O'Quinn and Jenny Lind Porter collaborated on the 1986 biographical work Time to Write: How William Sidney Porter Became O. Henry.
William Sydney Porter, pseudonymously O. Henry (1862-1910), is the famed short story writer noted for his "twist" endings, and for whom the prestigious O. Henry Awards annual literary competition is named. Porter lived in Austin from 1882-1898 with several brief interludes of absence. While in Austin, Porter met and married Athol Estes, and with her had two children, a son who died and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery in East Austin, and a daughter, Margaret, with whom he maintained a lifelong closeness and who was his only surviving child. His wife Athol died of tuberculosis in 1897. During the span of his fourteen years in the Texas capital Porter worked at a variety of local establishments, including the General Land Office (in the building currently serving as the Capitol Visitors Center, at the southeast corner of the capitol grounds at 112 East 11th Street; Morley Brothers Drugs, a pharmacy (formerly on East Sixth Street); and First National Bank, formerly on the northwest corner of Sixth and Congress, which became notable as the place of employment where Porter's work as a bank teller resulted in charges of embezzlement and ultimate conviction. He eventually left Austin to serve a prison sentence at the Ohio Penitentiary for crimes of bank embezzlement. One of Porter's residences in Austin serves as the O. Henry Museum, and contains numerous artifacts and literary publications.

The collection's donor, Trueman O'Quinn, sought to establish, by bequeathing the body of material reflecting the Texas and post-Texas periods of the writer's life and work that O'Quinn had acquired over a lifetime of passionate and thorough collecting and research, a collection that would offer future scholars a resource to enable research. The Collection includes correspondence written during a brief period where Porter lived in Pittsburgh, PA and in 1902 when he lived in New York City. These letters, all handwritten, generally concern the progress of his writing and financial pleas for advances or loans of money. The literary materials include manuscripts and partial manuscripts of a number of his stories, including "A Municipal Report", 1909, "A Snow Man", 1910 and "Some Pointers on Culture", a piece actually composed while he lived in Austin. There are a number of newspaper clippings relevant to the writer's life as well as two autograph albums with Porter's signatures. The Collection also includes ephemera that reflects Porter's time in Austin such as photographs, artifacts and cancelled checks.
