The collection is a result of integrating several items from Manuscripts A-Z into one artificial collection to improve organization and facilitate greater access. The collection contains correspondence, manuscripts, notes, and autographs belonging to various American and British literary figures from the 19th and 20th century (with one exception from 1634). The collection is arranged alphabetically by literary figure or, where author names are not available, title of piece.

This series contains nineteen folders related to the numerous exhibits displayed at the library. These exhibit topics differ greatly, including such themes as: Shakespeare, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Children’s Books, and Black History Month. These items are dated from 1980-1988 and arranged alphabetically.
