Abstract: This guide to the graphic, scrapbook, and secondary source material in the Lois Lenski

Collection of Milner Library, Illinois State University is intended to act as a supplement to the existing

finding aid. It provides newspaper photo style captions and Thesaurus of Graphic Materials terms to

describe illustrations, photos, and scrapbook materials in the collection in order to improve patron

access. Additionally, citations for three boxes of materials which contain items concerning Lenski or her

works, but not directly created by Lenski, are provided.

As of August, 2016, these materials are not available online. For further information or access to these

materials please contact the Special Collections Department of Milner Library at 309-438-2871 or

milnerspc@illinoisstate.edu

Using the guide: Each entry in part one consists of a folder number and folder title in bold, followed by a

caption and descriptive terms for each item in that folder (i.e. if a folder has five illustrations by Lenski it

will have five captions followed by descriptive terms). If you require further access to these items,

referring to that folder number and title will greatly help with the process. Captions were written in the

style of a brief newspaper photograph caption, and intended to give a general sense of what might be

shown in a given image. Additionally, terms from the Thesaurus of Graphic Materials (TGM) were

provided where appropriate, although if a page of a scrapbook (for example a letter) did not have

graphical content, only the caption (and not terms from TGM) were provided. In cases where Lenski

herself provided a caption, that caption is provided first followed by a second descriptive caption.

Patrons should be aware that although not always, often the terms in TGM are plural (i.e. even if a

picture only has one apple the heading assigned will be "apples"). Please bear this in mind when

searching and using the guide. The complete TGM can be found here:

https://www.loc.gov/rr/print/tgm1/tgm1.txt

The second part of this guide contains citations for items which were mass published and not necessarily

created by Lenski, or contain brief excerpts from Lenski's works. Interested users may be able to locate

these items through their local library, or they can contact the Special Collections Department of Milner

Library at 309-438-2871 or milnerspc@illinoisstate.edu

Finally, these are not all the items related to Lois Lenski held at Milner Library, and patrons should

consult the Special Collections Department at 309-438-2871, milnerspc@illinoisstate.edu , or the online

finding aid for the Lois Lenski Collection, circa 1850-1977 for further information.

Funding for this project was generously provided by Milner Library through a University Research Grant.

A second spreadsheet file (csv format) of the information in part one is also available for the

convenience of our patrons.
