Monroe, Wakeman, and Holman Collection

Printed items in the Monroe, Wakeman, and Holman Collection of the Pequot Library Association are cataloged separately. See: Catalogue of the Monroe, Wakeman, and Holman Collection of the Pequot Library, Southport, Connecticut, deposited in the Yale University Library. New Haven: Yale University Library, 1960. Autograph manuscript material documenting chiefly eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American history. A small number of seventeenth-century items are present. The collection consists mainly of correspondence and documents from the colonial, revolutionary, Federal, and antebellum periods, but extends well into the post-Civil War era. The collection notably includes a substantial group of the papers of writer and politician Joel Barlow (1754-1812), covering the period 1775-1812.
