Nineteenth century drama.

This is a continuing project consisting of two parts: English and American drama of the 19th century . It is the micropublisher's attempt to reproduce every play published during the 19th century. The reproductions are in microprint and fiche. The microprint titles are cataloged in CRLCATALOG with entries for over 3,500 American and 7,300 English plays. The final, complete collection of English and American plays should include 30,000-35,000 titles; 2,000-3,000 titles are produced each year. The expected completion date of the set is 1998.

American drama of the 19th century.

American plays published from 1831 to 1900 are included. The basic reference authorities for the titles include the following: Quin, Arthur. American drama from the beginning to the Civil War. Roden, Robert. Later American plays, 1831-1900. A Checklist of American drama published in the English colonies of North America and the United States.

Minor fiction of the later 19th and early 20th centuries.

These are lesser-known works by important authors or works by minor writers. The Center is cataloging these titles, and eventually records for all will be in the Center's catalog.
