Moore, Louis, Dr.

Dr. Louis Moore was a famous collector of books. In 1936 his library became the foundation of the Hargrett Library, shortly before the equally famous DeRenne Collection was acquired. Researchers in the Hargrett will frequently encounter a Louis Moore bookplate in front of a work they are consulting. When the Moore library moved to the University, the family kept this print. Eventually it came into the hands of Moore's nephew and namesake, Dr. Louis Moore of Naples, Florida, who generously donated it to the University for the use of researchers.
