The collection contains books by and about Virginia Woolf and other members
of the Bloomsbury Group. It features all the Hogarth Press books hand-printed
by Leonard and Virginia Woolf including many variant issues, bindings
and proof copies. (Records for each item can be found in the University
of Toronto Library Catalogue.)
The design interests of the Bloomsbury Group are represented by the graphic
works of Vanesssa Bell, Roger Fry, Duncan Grant and Clive Bell. Stephen
Tomlin, a sculptor associated with the Group, is represented by bronze
busts of Virginia Woolf and Lytton Strachey (on permanent display in the
Pratt Reading Room.)
A substantial number of ephemeral publications, press catalogues, announcements and notices enhance the research utility of the collection.
