My Life in Germany Before and After January 30, 1933
This collection of memoirs by refugees from Nazi Germany is a rich source of autobiographical information on the Nazi era. Housed at Houghton Library of Harvard University, it consists of 263 files containing the memoirs of approximately 230 people who lived in Germany or Austria during the 1930s. The stories of the memoirists encompass an almost bewildering range of human experience. The authors come from Danzig and Berlin, from central Germany and the Southwest, from Munich and from Vienna. They are Jews and Catholics and Protestants, and mixtures of these all-too-neat categories in their origins and marriages. They are peddlers and professors, machinists and lawyers, private housewives and public activists. They are conservatives and liberals and Communists. The strongest common bond was their exile.

Stationer's Voice
This volume provides a thorough analysis of the Company of Stationers, drawing heavily on unpublished Company records. Author Timothy Feist places the Stationer's Co. in the context of the burgeoning "consumer society" of the 18th century & relates the almanacs' content with the political developments of the post-Revolution whig state. He argues that the almanac's creation, production, & distribution need to be understood through the commercial imperatives driving the Company, which controlled the monopoly. Feist's discussion of almanac content in the early 18th century stresses its preoccupation with order, harmony, & unity, & he skillfully links the almanacs' association of political with mathematical order.

Library of Benjamin Franklin

After wolf's death, Kevin Hayes took up the project & brought it to fruition. This catalogue includes almost 4,000 books known to have been owned by Franklin, & the Intro. tells the complete story of Franklin's library, its dispersal, & its reconstruction.

In order to grasp the importance of such a project, this volume provides a sketch of Pole's career & the significance of these works.
