Carl Sandburg collection, 1916-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60379324

The Carl Sandburg Collection is divided into three series: Series I: Sequential Folders, Series II: Periodicals and Published Works, and Series III: Oversize Periodicals, Excerpts, and Clippings. Series I includes correspondence, memoranda, notes, clippings, published articles, books, book jackets, bulletins, photographs, poetry, pamphlets, brochures, broadsides, programs, stationary, song sheets, flyers, bibliographic materials, and one handkerchief. Some periodicals are also included in this series. This series reflects the original order and content of folders as created by William P. Schenk. Series II consists of periodicals, books, and excerpts from published works stored separately from the sequential folders upon acquisition of these materials. Series III consists of oversize periodicals, excerpts and clippings including fragile newspapers that have been separated from materials in Series II for preservation and more appropriate storage, as well as a map of Galesburg, Illinois, poetry, a brochure, and photograph. Most material in this collection regards Carl Sandburg, but William P. Schenk also collected material about Sandburg's relatives, notably his brother-in-law, Edward Steichen.
