Image with title "Circus," showing a drawing of an elephant and a snail.

Fifty-four linear feet of boxes contain ephemeral or periodical items by or about nearly 200 twentieth-century writers, predominantly English and America. Formats include single issues or articles of periodicals, offprints, pamphlets, proof copies, dust jackets, and other ephemera.

This was the working collection of John Bennett Shaw ('37), a Notre Dame alumnus who was a rare book dealer.
