This collection consists of manuscripts, letters, and
miscellaneous material that, for a variety of reasons, were placed by Leonard and
Virginia Woolf in books from their working library.
Collection materials are in English
The laid in Insert Papers collection from the personal library of Leonard and
Virginia Woolf consists of manuscripts, letters, and miscellaneous material that,
for a variety of reasons, were placed by Leonard and Virginia Woolf in books from
their working library. Other casual inserts were slipped into titles that had been
sent to them as review copies or as gifts. Most of this insert material, then, has
some relationship to the title it was originally associated with although the
precise nature of a given item or item-book association is not always clear. Of
special interest among the manuscripts are the literary and scholarly fragments,
some with definite authorship. Published (printed) insert material was left in the
books.
Where possible, items are minimally described according to elements selected from the
information present on documents or that was established by previous research;
bracketed information is supplied. Where available, the call numbers for the book
related to each item is provided, and the catalog information for the book often
includes additional information about the inserted item.
The collection is organized chronologically into two series: Series 1,
Correspondence, 1909-1974, undated and Series 2, Manuscripts, 1875-1938, undated.
This arrangement has been imposed by the archivist.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions may apply.
[Item description]
Leonard and Virginia Woolf Insert Papers, circa 1875-1974 (Cage 674)
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
This collection of laid in inserts from books that were originally part of the
personal library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf (including those books housed in
their Monks House and Victoria Square residences in England), which became available
for purchase shortly after Leonard Woolf's death in 1969. In the ensuing years
additional titles from Leonard Woolf's estate surfaced. These were also purchased in
whole or in part by the Washington State University Libraries. In 1974 the Libraries
purchased a collateral lot of Hogarth Press editions, some from the Woolfs' own
collection. The bulk of what now constitutes the Libraries' printed Woolf holdings
(and collateral print collections) was purchased in six lots between 1971 and
1983.
This collection was processed by Robert N. Matuozzi in March 2000.
The books the materials were found in have been cataloged individually and are housed in the WSU MASC Stacks.
For more detailed information on the provenance and scope of Leonard and Virginia
Woolf's personal library, see the journal "Virginia Woolf Miscellany", No. 22
(Spring 1984).
This collection is indexed under the following headings in the online
