The Newberry has over 800 Modern Manuscript Collections dating from the mid-18th through the 20th centuries. Their content mirrors the library’s collecting strengths. Holdings are strongest for Chicago and the Midwest.
Abstracts for each collection include links to more extensive collection finding aids: collection-level catalog records in the Online Catalog and detailed online inventories, usually describing collection content to the folder-level.
