Briefs #1: British Library Acquire Poets Papers; Newberry Receives Valuable Polish-American Records
+ Coleridge family papers saved for the nation (via BL)
The archive of the extended family of one of the greatest English Romantic poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, dating from the mid 18th to the early 20th centuries has been acquired by the British Library.
Formerly preserved in family ownership at The Chanter’s House, Ottery St Mary, Devon, it has now been purchased for the nation with the aid of generous grants from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Pilgrim Trust, the Friends of the National Libraries, the Friends of the British Library, the Lynn Foundation, the Gamlen Charitable Trust and the Denton Wilde Sapte Charitable Trust.
