  Clarke, Marian G. M. DAVID WATKINSON'S LIBRARY: ONE HUNDRED YEARS IN HARTFORD CONNECTICUT, 1866-1966
Hartford, Conn Trinity College Press 1966 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover xii, 177 pages.
David Watkinson's Library narrates the founding and history of the David Watkinson Library from 1866 to 1966. When David Watkinson died in 1857, the major provisions for the establishment of the library were contained in his will. Watkinson had determined one hundred thousand dollars would be invested and managed by the board of trustees to establish connections with the Connecticut Historical Society as a reference to be accessible to all citizens or visitors of the state of Connecticut. He also specified that money be used to build the new library as an addition to the Connecticut Historical Society, to hire a librarian appointed by the society, to purchase the Wadsworth Atheneum, and to create a Library Fund.

Beginning with a biography of the life of David Watkinson and ending with an account of Ruth A. Kerr's (the third librarian) tenure, the book describes every major element of the library. The book discusses Watkinson's idea, conception of the library, other libraries in Hartford, the growth of the library, the various librarians, developing collections, management, the transition to Trinity College, and many other records of the Watkinson library. A foreword, illustration credits, biographical sketches of trustees, a bibliography, and an index are also included. Finally, three appendixes list Watkinson Library Documents, Trustees, and a Chronology of Events.

  Clark, John Willis CARE OF BOOKS AN ESSAY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIBRARIES AND THEIR FITTINGS, FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE END OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2004 8vo. cloth xxvi, 352 pages.
Reprint of the 1901 first edition (Webber p.46). Clark attempts to trace the methods used throughout the ages to preserve, use and make accessible printed books or manuscripts. He is mostly concerned with the position, size and arrangement of the rooms that housed these treasures and with the progressive development of fittings, catalogues and other appliances that facilitated the access and use of the books. There is not much written on this subject, and Clark's work remains a standard text in the field. There are chapters on Assyrian Record Rooms, libraries in Western antiquity, Christian libraries, monastic collections, Italian libraries, the wall system, suppression of the monasteries, Vatican libraries, and private libraries. Includes 156 illustrations.

  Cohen, Hersh and Fern Cohen STEEL & ROSES: AMERICAN PRINTS IN THE HERSH COHEN COLLECTION & BOTANICAL BOOKS IN THE FERN COHEN COLLECTION.
Part 1, American Prints; Part 2, Bontanical Books New York The Grolier Club 2011 8 x 11 inches paperback Part 1: 68 pages, Part 2: 60 pages
The catalogue documents a unique husband-wife collecting team: Hersh and Fern Cohen. Hersh collects prints created between 1900 and World War II, with an emphasis on the Depression era, while Fern Cohen focuses on English, Continental, and American botanical books from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries, with illustrations by some of the most accomplished botanical artists of the day. The stark black-and-white prints of cities, their inhabitants, and the turmoil of the 1930s contrast vividly with gorgeously colored images of flowers and fruit in peaceful bucolic settings: an unlikely yet compelling combination. Designed by Jerry Kelly, the book contains forewords by the collectors, followed by catalogues of the joint member exhibition of the collections of Hersh and Fern Cohen held at the Grolier Club September 7-November 4, 2011.
