The collection contains a wide array of material such as correspondence, author agreements and contracts, partnership agreements, registration and transfers of copyrights, and records pertaining to the publication of the History of All Nations and centenary editions of Gray's Anatomy. There are also sales and distribution agreements, financial volumes, catalogues and brochures, publication lists, newspaper clippings, articles, photographs, and documentation of the company's history, including a photograph album of its 200th anniversary celebration. Among the objects in the collection are several brass dies for Gray's Anatomy and metal clips that once held together groups of author's contracts. The collection also includes a small batch of Mathew Carey's correspondence with notable figures that include the Marquis de Lafayette and James Madison. While a box-level inventory is offered starting on page 4 of this guide, a more detailed folder-level inventory is available in HSP's library. | |
