Streeter, Thomas W. (Thomas Winthrop), 1883-1965. Papers, 1920-1965.

Title: Papers, 1920-1965.

This collection consists of 20 boxes of Streeter's papers, 1920-1965, comprised of 4 boxes of correspondence, 3 boxes of donations lists, and 13 boxes representing a Catalogue of his American Library. Included in the correspondence is information on Streeter's friendship with Henry Raup Wagner (1862-1957) of Berkeley, Calif., a noted bibliographer and authority on early explorations of the West. The letters refer mainly to the buying and selling of Americana between the two collectors and from booksellers, such as Edward Emory Eberstadt (1883-1958) of New York City. There are occasional comments on the distress of the Great Depression and the Presidential leadership of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945), as well as much family news. Also included is Streeter's correspondence with Lawrence Counselman Wroth (1884-1970), librarian of the John Carter Brown Library, Providnece, R.I. Their letters contain many references to Streeter's wish to extend his work on Joseph Sabin (1821-1881) and his enlistment of Wroth's help. There are also comments on the proceedings at the meetings of a number of historical societies. The boxes of Donations contain lists of books and other items sent to various societies and libraries from 1940 to 1965, such as the American Antiquarian Society, University of Virginia, Yale University, and the Library of Congress. These include appraisals made by Eberstadt and others. Streeter's Catalogue of his collection is organized by subject in alphabetical order and includes correspondence with many dealers, bibliographers, and librarians at institutions, lists of his acquisitions, exhibition lists, assessments and appraisals, loan lists, several auction catalogues, pamphlets pertaining to a particular subject in his collection, his and others' "want" lists, many photostats of acquisitions and sale items, and photographs of portraits.
