Marino, Samuel J. Samuel J. Marino Collection.

Title: Samuel J. Marino Collection.

The cornerstone of the Samuel J. Marino Collection is printing and publishing, with particular attention to newspaper and periodicals. No opportunity was ever missed to add to the history of a printer or publisher, or a newspaper or periodical, with no limit as to country or language, though the major holdings are of the United States, England, and France. The collection contains special editions, limited editions, autographed copied, small presses and publications of book clubs. It includes a substantial amount of first issues, special and commemorative issues of newspapers and periodicals. The music collections in the Marino Collection are a result of military service in Naples, Italy (1943-1946). It began, initially, with the acquisition of opera piano-vocal scores, vocal solos, religious choral works, hymnody and opera libretti. Giacomo Puccini, opera composer, became the focus in music. As a result, the holdings on Puccini span piano-vocal scores, libretti, biographies, bibliographies, criticism, and books and plays from which Puccini and his librettists adapted a short story, sections of a longer work or a play to the specific demands of opera. The successful Broadway Rock musical, "Rent," inspired by Puccini's "La Boheme," is represented with a copy of an instrument-vocal score and a number of ephemera. Pinocchio, the puppet, has challenged book illustrators and motion picture artists. One will find in the Marino Collection a goodly number of dissimilar and novel artistic renderings of the naughty puppet, including several video versions. On a visit to Bath, England, a facsimile copy of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, in a superlative Bayntun and Riviere binding, was acquired. This was sent to McNeese in honor of Dr. W. N. Cusic, who, as President of McNeese State College, during difficult and changing times, had steered the course of the institution in a wise and courageous manner.

Guide to the Max Shachtman Papers, 1917-1969

Title: Guide to the Max Shachtman Papers, 1917-1969

Max Shachtman was an author, editor, and a leader (successively) in the communist, Trotskyist, and socialist movements whose views helped shape the outlook of many progressive and liberal anti-communist intellectuals and labor leaders. Shachtman was a Polish-Jewish immigrant interested in socialist reform and the communist movement, but in 1928, was expelled from the Communist Party after adopting Trotsky's views. In 1929 he became a leader of the Communist League of America and lead a splinter group, the Workers Party (later the Independent Socialist League) who had differences with the party establishment's uncritical view of the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939. During the 1950s, Shachtman developed the political strategy known as 'realignment,' which held that U.S. socialists should ally themselves with the leadership of the labor movement and together work to make the Democratic Party into a social democratic party. During the 1960s, Shachtman began a history of the Communist International, which remained unfinished at his death in 1972. The papers include international organizational bulletins, correspondence, notes, clippings, cartoons, lithographs and manuscripts, documenting both his political and literary activities. Also included are research notes for his history of the Communist International, personal correspondence, an unpublished manuscript of Alfred Rosmer's memoirs of John Reed and a collection of German leaflets tracing the debate between the Nazis, the Communist Party, the Social Democrats and the German Trotskyists. Prominent correspondents include Norman Thomas, Natalia Sedova Trotsky, Erich Fromm, A.J. Muste and Max Eastman.
