H.A. & Margret Rey Papers

1873-2002

https://lib.usm.edu/legacy/degrum/public_html/html/research/findaids/DG0812b.html

The H.A. & Margret Rey Papers contain creative works, printed material, correspondence, journals, financial and legal documentation, photographic material, video and audio recordings, and artifacts created and accumulated by H.A. & Margret Rey, Lay Lee Ong, and the staff of the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection between around 1906 and 2002. Although they produced dozens of children's books, copious advertising art, and ingenious astronomical aids, the Reys were best known for their seven books featuring Curious George. Their papers were created from their composition of published and unpublished literary works, the merchandising of literary characters created by them, their production of advertising art and other ventures unrelated to their literary work, and the conduct of their personal affairs.
