| 説明 | H.P.L. Exhibit - Friday Evening 17-August-1990 - John Hay Library (1910) - 20 Prospect Street - Socializing on the steps.The John Hay Library was designed in the English Renaissance style by the eminent Boston architectural firm of Shepley Rutan & Coolidge.It opened as the main library of Brown University in November 1910, continued to serve that function until 1964; and now houses the University Library’s collections of rare books and manuscripts, the University Archives, and many special collections on a wide variety of topics. Strong areas of coverage include: American literature and popular culture, political and diplomatic history, the history of science, book arts and graphics, and of course, H. P. Lovecraft. The Library is named for John Hay, class of 1858, who served as Abraham Lincoln’s private secretary during the Civil War and later became Secretary of State. His papers and personal library also form part of the collections at the John Hay.With room for 300,000 volumes, the capacity of the John Hay Library was expected to be adequate for many decades, but by the 1930's demand for more space became so critical that a brick wing providing two floors of reading space for 140 readers, and six floors of stack space for 150,000 volumes was added on to the John Hay Library in 1939.--------------------------------The John Hay Library is mentioned in H. P. Lovecraft's, "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," and in his "The Haunter of the Dark."Photo taken by Will Hart on 17-August-1990.See and hear more Lovecraftian Items at the sister sites to these Flickr collections at:cthulhuwho1.comandwww.youtube.com/user/CthulhuWho1 |
