Provenance
The J. M. Barrie Collection is made up of a number of acquisitions. The core of the collection—and its largest component—was accumulated by and given to the library by Walter Beinecke Jr. An overview of this material can be found in Howard S. Mott's article, "The Walter Beinecke, Jr., J. M. Barrie Collection" in the Yale Library Gazette 39, no. 4 (April 1965). After Mr. Beinecke slowed his collecting in the late 1960s, the Beinecke Library continued to add items to the Barrie collection, in some instances with funds provided by Mr. Beinecke and in other instances with monies used to support the General Collection of Modern Books and Manuscripts. Mr. Beinecke gave the library occasional gifts of material up through the 1970s; most of the material acquired after 1980 was purchased directly by the library. All of the archival material related to J. M. Barrie that came into the library before 2011 has now been gathered into this collection, with the exception of a few prominent acquisitions such as the Llewelyn Davies Family Papers (GEN MSS 554) and the Quiller-Couch Family Papers (GEN MSS 551). Individual donations of material, such as those made to Yale University Library in the 1940s and 1950s from W. Robert Blum (Yale 1916) and Henry C. Taylor (Yale 1917), have been acknowledged in the finding aid, when known. The printed collection of works by Barrie, also gathered in large part by Walter Beinecke Jr. and which built upon an earlier gift to the library by Mr. Taylor, were described separately in the library’s online catalog.
