Bruce Garland Thomas Wise collection 1897-2007, undated 1934-1975

http://library.udel.edu/static/purl.php?mss0646

The Bruce Garland Thomas Wise collection comprises approximately 1.3 linear feet of material pertaining to English bibliographer, book collector, and forger Thomas J. Wise (1859-1937). Much of the collection's material was compiled by English bibliographer and book collector John Carter (1905-1975), who co-authored with Graham Pollard (1903-1976) (1934), which effectively outed Wise as a forger. The collection contains correspondence, including original correspondence of Wise's, manuscripts, page proofs, galley proofs, auction catalogs, clippings, scrapbooks, periodicals and articles, and ephemera.
