| About the Collection | |
|
The
collection of more than 3000 items contains all the books hand-printed
by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press in London (1917
- 1932). (The hand-printed works include many variant issues and bindings).
It is also a nearly comprehensive collection of Hogarth Press machine
printed books to 1946 (the year Leonard Woolf and the Press joined
Chatto &Windus) and contains many rarities and all the significant
texts. Included are many variant bindings, first editions, subsequent
isues and editions, presentation copies, proofs copies, limited editions
and signed limited editions. A substantial number of ephemeral publications,
press catalogues, announcements and notices enhance the research utility
of the collection. (Records for each item can be found in the University
of Toronto Library Catalogue.) The nucleus of the Collection was formed when Mary Rowell Jackman (Vic 2T5) presented a number of first editions of Virginia Woolf's works and Hogarth Press publications to the Women's Residence Library. Later transferred to the E.J. Pratt Library, the collection has grown considerably since then with continuing generous support from the Mary Jackman collection endowment, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Ruth Gregory (Vic 4T3) and other benefactors.
