Herman W. Liebert manuscript collection
Scope and Contents
The Collection is arranged into two principal series. Series I, Liebert Autograph Collection (1604-1987), contains chiefly British, as well as other European and American historical and literary manuscripts and autographs. Individuals represented in the files include: James Boswell, Jr., Sir Joseph Banks, Marie Corelli, Eugene V. Debs, Camille Pissarro, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Henry Huxley, Samuel Johnson, Ouida, and Alfred Tennyson. With the exception of the Martin Farquhar Tupper manuscripts and letters (folders 154-174), individuals are represented by fewer than five manuscripts, and in many cases by only one. The list for Series I also includes cross references to additions since 1996 that are housed in Series III.
Series II, Liebert Correspondence (1948-1967), consists of a handful of letters written to Liebert by persons of note, which he gave to the library for their association and autograph value.
Series III, Additions Since 1996 , houses manuscripts that were previously cataloged and filed separately, but which have now been reunited with the other Liebert manuscripts. Cross references have been made in Series I and II for items housed in Series III.
Within each series, materials are arranged in alphabetical order by the author of the document. Items of unidentified authorship in Series I are listed at the end of that section. Oversize material has been housed separately and cross references have been made in the appropriate series.
