This collection was created by and largely concerns James and Leah Wyer, prominent librarians in the 20th century. Born in Red Wing, Minnesota on May 14, 1869, James Ingersoll Wyer was the eldest son of James Ingersoll and Rosabel E. Shear Wyer. Wyer attended high school in Concordia, Kansas and, upon graduation, worked in a bank started by his father for several years, and on May 3, 1894, marryied May Tyner. During the depressed economy of the late nineteenth century, foreclosures on local farms convinced Wyer to seek a path other than banking.
In 1895, influenced by an uncle's passion for books and a cousin's connection to Melvil Dewey, Wyer decided to pursue a career in librarianship. In preparation, he completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota. Education agreed with Wyer, and he continued on, earning his B.L.S., M.L.S. and Ph.D. Wyer began working in the library field, in progressively higher positions, the most prestigeous of which being the director of the New York State Library School (1908-1926) and director of the New York State Library (1908-1938).
