It is often important to
locate the necessary resources of manuscript collections and outstanding
holdings in ongoing scholarly work in children's literature. The websites
listed below reflect the current availability of Children's Literature
Special Collections on the Internet. Many, like the de Grummond Collection
offer the viewer complete books using the original work so that one can
actually see the work as it appears. Holdings in other Special Collections
are available through the use of OPAC connections.
