Collections

The collection comprises correspondence, manuscript writings, lists of drawings, and printed material concerning the author and artist Edward Lear.

The collection consists of writings, correspondence, photographs, sketches, and awards that document the career of American author Edward Lewis Wallant. The bulk of the collection consists of drafts and proofs of novels and shorter writings, reviews, and related correspondence with publishers and literary agents. Much of the material post-dates Wallant's death and reflects his wife Joyce Fromkin Wallant's efforts to see his last two novels published and to manage his legacy in light of continued interest in his work. Photographs include portraits of Wallant as well as a few snapshots of his family and from his service in World War II. Writings of others include critical analysis and adaptations of Wallant's novels.

Nearly half the papers are made up of the texts of Edward Livingston Wells' sermons and a series of lectures on Genesis. The remainder consists of notes (in French) made while he was a student at the Protestant Theological Seminary in Montauban, France.

The papers include correspondence, writings, lectures, notes, research material, and memorabilia documenting the personal life and professional career of Edward Luther Stevenson.

Highlighted in the papers are Stevenson's cartographic research and his efforts to collect, copy, and publish historic maps.
