Land of golden dreams: California in the Gold Rush Decade 1848-1858
Rare Books
Collection of more than 80 catalogs and gallery guides of exhibitions installed from 1929 to 2022 at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. The catalogs were intended for the reference use of the Library's Chief Curator of Rare Books and are often annotated with the call numbers of the Huntington holdings ues in the exhibits. The catalogs represented here focus primarily on the Library exhibit spaces: the Main Library Exhibit Hall and the West Hall. Later publications also record exhibits in the Dibner Hall of Sciences and the Boone Gallery. A few concern related exhibition material in the Art Collections. These catalogs represent the most comprehensive record of which library copies were displayed, especially for the years 1931-1975. Notations about the availability of photostats, facsimiles and slides as well as installation dates are included on some catalogs. Some catalogs have multiple copies marked for the Curator, Rare Book Stacks and the Exhibition Office. Material dated after 1980 shows fewer annotations, and are primarily in the form of gallery guides, rather than catalog listings of items on display. Additional unannotated Huntington publications regarding the collections are also included (e.g. Preliminary handbook of the art collections).
