Scope and Content of the Collection

From the Collection:

Corporate and organizational records of the Caxton Club, including minutes of its governing council and committees, membership records, financials, and some historical and literary writings related to programs or publications.

Since its inception in 1895, the club has sponsored exhibits (only scantily documented here) and publications (fully documented in content, design and production terms). Program records consist mostly of printed announcements and correspondence, but since the early 1990s there are also video recordings of most meetings. A full run of the club’s publications, including many association copies and special bindings, is cataloged under the class number Wing ZP 983 .C31; and copies of many individual titles are held elsewhere in the library.
