A New Research Guide



Special Collections has recently prepared a new research guide to Children's Literature for our collections. The guide can be found under the "Special Collections" tab in the main Children's Literature Research Guide, prepared by children's literature librarian Linda Salem. Use this tab if you're looking for materials especially for young ones in our collections, including beautiful pop-up and movable books, exciting nineteenth century boys' adventure series, or historic children's periodicals.

Also featured in the Special Collections tab are some of our manuscript and archival collections dealing with children's literature, including the papers of Peter Neumeyer, and the papers of San Diego author Madeline Tabler. Our popular Edward Gorey collection is also linked from the research guide. And be sure to contact us or stop by the department if you have questions about this or any of our other research guides!
