Guide to the Garnett Collection

Administrative Information

Provenance

The purchase of the Garnett Collection from Hamill & Barker, Inc. in 1971 was made possible through a larger fund established in memory of Kenneth Farwell Burgess (1887–1965), a trustee of Northwestern University from 1931–1959.

Separated Material

Presentation copies of books from David Garnett's library have been cataloged with other Special Collections monographs, primarily in the 20th Century English Collection; a list of these books can be found in the Garnett folder in the department's Collections File.

Additional material connected with the Garnett family can be found in the Hamill & Barker Collection and in the general manuscript files under Norman Douglas and Edward and Richard Garnett.
