Scope and Contents
The organization of these Lewis Carroll materials follows the
headings and arrangement employed in Collections of Lewis
Carroll, Edward Gorey, and V. S. Naipaul Placed on Deposit in the Harry Ransom
Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin by Mr. Byron W.
Sewell and Mrs. Susan Rafferty Sewell, August 4, 1984.
Published editions of the
Alice books and other works by
Carroll and Carroll scholars have been withdrawn from this collection and
separately cataloged. Folders containing material supplementary to those
now-withdrawn books, as well as other near-print, nonprint, and ephemeral
materials, remain in the present collection and in their original
arrangement.
Those items which were described in the 1984 catalog of the
Sewell collection are noted herein by entries in the form "
The New Belfry of Christ Church,
Carroll photo of belfry (P2)." In other words, Carroll's small monograph on the
belfry (P2 in the original Sewell catalog) has been removed for separate
cataloging, but the accompanying Carroll photograph of that architectural
feature remains in section P and is housed in folder 5.9.
