Abstract
Printed materials from a variety of twentieth century small fine presses, primarily in England and the United States.
Provenance
Because the current accessioning system was not used until January 1986, it is not possible to know exactly the dates of acquisition of materials received before that time. It is likely that the majority of these materials were collected by Thomas F. O'Connell, University Librarian.
