Kerouac, Jack. Archive

Now available for the first time since its compilation. The archive of Kerouac and Beat material collected and brought together by Robert Milewski, the author of the important standard reference book-Jack Kerouac: An Annotated Bibliography of Secondary Sources, 1944-1979 (Scarecrow Press, 1981). Of the 1037 entries in the bibliography, 807 (78%) are included in this archive. This includes 178 items in hard copy (books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, etc.), 8 long-playing recordings, and 621 photocopies (reviews, articles, chapters, notices, etc.).

The archive contains additional material not included in the bibliography as well as items collected since 1979, its end date. These are books and articles by Kerouac (including some first editions and a signed Maggie Cassidy-204 items plus numerous photocopies); film stills, a poster, and other production material from the film "Heartbeat" (23 pieces); LP recordings of Kerouac and other Beat writers and jazz and film scores, plus cassettes, VHS tapes, CDs, and microfilm (34 items); bookseller catalogs (circa late 1970-2000s listing Kerouac and Beats items-147 pieces); books and articles by and about other Beat writers (eg. Ginsberg, Burroughs, Corso, Ferlinghetti-less than 100 items); various Kerouac and Beat ephemera (eg newspaper advertisements, auction catalogs, broadsides, postcards), including items from Edie Parker Kerouac and John Montgomery (approximately 80 pieces); runs of Kerouac and Beat zines, including Moody Street Irregulars, Comstock Lode, Ludd's Mill, and Palantir.

In total this archive of research material about Jack Kerouac contains approximately 750 hardbacks, paperbacks, newspapers, magazines, and catalogs; more than 125 items in other formats and media, both paper and audio-visual; and more than 1200 photocopies.

More detail is found in a spreadsheet (computer file) that is available via email upon request. Condition of items varies. Archive available only in its entirety.

Kirsop, Wallace (editor) THE COMMONWEALTH OF BOOKS: ESSAYS AND STUDIES IN HONOUR OF IAN WILLISON.
with the assistance of Meredith Sherlock (Melbourne). Centre for the Book, Monash University. 2007 6.5 x 9.5 inches hardcover 283 pages
Ian Willison, whose professional life was spent in the British Museum Library, later the British Library, has played a leading part in the development of book-history studies in the English-speaking world. In the two decades since his retirement from a post that gave him administrative and intellectual oversight of the library's rare-book and English-language programmes, he has, as a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of English Studies of the School of Advanced Study of the University of London, made an enormous contribution to the organization and encouragement of research and publications in a new and expanding field of historical endeavour. Official and deserved recognition of his efforts came in 2005 with his appointment as a Commander in the Order of the British Empire.
The present volume brings together a selection of essays and studies by some of Willison's many friends, colleagues and associates in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. The topics covered-on book history, libraries, archives and scholarship-reflect the breadth of his interests and the scope of his curiosity. From the inside story of the major edition of George Orwell's works to the investigation of New Zealand's print culture a surprising mix of subjects suggests the many ways in which the West's book heritage and desire to order knowledge can be explored and illuminated. The contributors have been and are intimately involved in diverse aspects of the reshaping of our access to means of communication and civilization. As a result, the volume offers, as well as precise studies of the history of textual transmission and of intellectual debates, insights into an evolving discipline and into its attempts to understand our culture in depth.
