Named for its originator, Eloise Ramsey, the Eloise Ramsey Collection of Literature for Young People is a collection of rare books and periodicals related to children’s literature from the 17th century to the present, located in the Purdy/Kresge Library. The collection has been expanded over the years with award-winning titles and otherwise outstanding works; whenever possible, recent acquisitions to the collection have been duplicated in the circulating juvenile collection. Books and materials in the collection are listed in the online catalog and are available for use in the Gardner Special Collections and Rare Book Room. Selected books have also been digitized. The Reuther Library holds Eloise Ramsey's papers, the finding aid for which can be found here.
