Joel Barlow Collection, 1780-1813 1.54 Linear Feet

Barlow, Joel, 1754-1812

The collection provides evidence of the personal and professional life of Joel Barlow between 1780 and 1813. Most notably the collection contains Barlow's continuing work on his epic poem The Vision of Columbus (1787), which he ultimately expanded and republished as The Columbiad (1807). The collection contains a printed version of The Vision of Columbus (Paris, 1793) with revisions and additional material, such as a list of subjects for illustration, estimates of printing costs, and preface. A letter to Barlow from Robert Fulton concerning copies The Columbiad found in a publisher's warehouse can be found in the correspondence series. The collection also includes autograph manuscript writings such as a chapter on "Means of Subsistence" from a larger work and a speech in response to the Republicans of Connecticut given at a political dinner.

John Archiquette collection, 1817-1984, bulk 1876-1919 1.04 Linear Feet

Archiquette, John, 1847-1923

It also contains materials collected by his heirs, 1866-1984. The personal papers include ledger volumes that Archiquette used as journals and letter books, which include brief and frequent entries related to community affairs and events, as well as to his personal life and family. The collection also includes records of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin kept by Joseph O. Powless and Archiquette, which principally document deaths in the community, 1817-1880, as well as the records of the vestry council of the Church of the Holy Apostles in Oneida, Wisconsin, kept by Peter Bread and Archiquette, 1881-1906.

John Betjeman collection, 1908-2002, bulk 1936-1984 23.42 Linear Feet

Betjeman, John, 1906-1984
The John Betjeman collection documents the personal and professional life of John Betjeman between 1908 and 1990, with the bulk of material dating between 1936 and 1984. The collection provides evidence of Betjeman's career as a writer and broadcaster and consists of correspondence, writings, personal papers, newspaper clippings, audiovisual materials, and a small number of candid photographs. The collection traces Betjeman's creative process through initial scribblings in his notebooks to more formal drafts and the publishing process (as found in galleys and correspondence with editors and publishers). A substantial volume of the correspondence is from Betjeman to his wife Penelope Chetwode and provides insight into their relationship. More broadly, owing to Betjeman's role as Poet Laureate and connection with various authors, the collection is a window into literary life in Britain during the twentieth century. The majority of the collection is comprised of the Duncan Andrews Collection of John Betjeman.
