University of Richmond Libraries featured in College & Research Libraries News

The cover of the June 2005 issue of College & Research Libraries News features an illustration from the Helen A. Monsell Mother Goose Collection in the Special Collections of the University of Richmond Libraries. The image of Old Mother Goose is from the dust jacket cover of Mother Goose: The Old Nursery Rhymes. The Monsell Collection of more than 250 items on the theme of Mother Goose throughout the world, from the early 19th century through the 1960s, was collected by the noted Virginia author, Helen Albee Monsell (1895-1971) who wrote more than 30 children's books and plays.
