OVERVIEW

Title: Warshaw Collection of Business Americana: Business Ephemera: Publishing

Collection Dates: circa 1800-1966 (bulk circa 1840-1942)

Extent and Forms of Material: 5.75 cubic feet, and 11 oversized folders

Scope and Content: This subject category- Publishing- consists primarily of catalogues, in-

voices, receipts, circulars, subscription information, advertising materials, and correspondence

relating to publishers and booksellers. The bulk of the material dates from the second half of the

19th century and is from businesses located in the northeastern United States; there are a few

items from Canada and Europe. Many businesses referred to themselves as both booksellers and

publishers. Some of these companies also sold stationery and other writing materials, art sup-

plies, and gift items. William J. Hamersley of Hartford Connecticut was such a bookseller and a

substantial amount of material from his business is part of this collection.

Such major publishing companies as Bobbs-Merrill, R.R. Bowker, Curtis, Dodd-Meade, Dou-

bleday, Harper Brothers, Houghton-Mifflin, Lippincott, MacMillan, G.P. Putnam, The

Roycrofters, Scribner, and Street and Smith are represented in this collection. Some are book

publishers, others published periodicals, and some published both books and magazines. How-

ever, the great majority of the businesses represented in this collection served a local market.

The publications in this collection are concerned with the business of publishing and

bookselling. Among the oversized materials are a number of large and graphic advertising post-

ers.

Series 1, Publishers and Booksellers, circa 1840-1942, includes catalogues, invoices, receipts,

circulars, subscription information, advertising, and correspondence from publishers and

booksellers. Materials are arranged in alphabetical order by the name of the company.

Series 2, William J. Hamersley Papers, 1850s-1870s, includes information about William J.

Hamersley (1808-1876) a prominent bookseller in Hartford, Connecticut and is divided into two

subseries. According to Geer’s Hartford City Directory for 1858-9 his store was located at 23

Main Street. Mr. Hamersley was also the editor of The Hartford Independent Press and served

twice as Hartford’s mayor. His son William Hamersley became a prominent attorney and jurist.

Both men were friends of Mark Twain.1 Subseries one consists primarily of invoices and re-

ceipts from publishers and booksellers that Hamersley did business with, listed alphabetically.

The materials date from about 1850 to 1860. Subseries 2 consist of business expense records

and miscellaneous business materials; also present are miscellaneous household expenses. These

are for food and provisions, home repair and decoration as well as board for his sons, possibly at

school. Also included are lists of medical supplies ordered by Dr. Andrew Hamersley. His rela-

tionship to William J. Hamersley is unknown.

1 The Connecticut Historical Society Museum and Library contains a collection of papers relat-

ing to William J. Hamersley and his son, William Hamersley. It also has a collection of material

relating to Mark Twain. See http://www.chs.org

Series 3, Publications relating to Publishing, 1821-1961, consists of periodicals pertaining to

new books and literature, business aspects of publishing and bookselling, and printing technolo-

gy. An article about plagiarism, a biography, and a publication by the New York Public Library

are also included.

Series 4, Miscellaneous Materials Relating to Publishing, circa 1810-1900, consists of agent

circulars, correspondence, import/export documents, etc. and is arranged by type of material.
