Cather Family Library Collection
Date range: 1793-1962
Bulk dates: 1870-1915
Finding Aid created by Jacqueline Lemmer, 2014; updated by Tracy Sanford Tucker, 2022. Copyright: National Willa Cather Center
Extent: 12 trays
Abstract: The Cather Family Library contains books and magazines owned by the Charles F. Cather family and used in their Red Cloud homes between 1884–1936. A number of books in the collection contain personalization that denotes books that belonged to Willa Cather personally, who sometimes used "Willie" or "William." Red Cloud did not have a public library until 1917, so the Cather's extensive library indicates their financial position as well as the value the family placed on reading and education. After the sale of the Cather family home in Red Cloud, these books and magazines were with Elsie Cather; some of the later items in this collection are labeled with Elsie Cather's name and address.
Language: The material is in English
Access and Use: No restrictions on access; users should acquaint themselves with copyright restrictions for later publications.
Acquisition Information: Acquisition information is incomplete; the collection has been in Red Cloud for more than twenty years and was likely donated after Elsie Cather's death.
Access Restrictions: The record group is open to research.
