http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/773943689

The Kohler Collection of Minor British Poetry at the University of California, Davis consists of more than 14,000 volumes published in Great Britain and Ireland between 1789 and 1918. The collection includes known and lesser known poets. Found in the collection are commercially published volumes of well known titles as well as privately printed little known titles. While the title of the collection derives from its provenance, it should be noted that the collection includes works of Irish as well as British poets. The volumes were gathered by the English bookseller C. C. Kohler and cataloged by Michele Kohler. In 1983, then University Librarian Bernard Kreissman purchased the collection, building on library collection strengths in British literature and history. Additions to the collection were purchased in later years, most recently in 2006. Microfilm copies of works in the collection are available for institutional purchase and through interlibrary loan.
