About the Byron Herbert Reece Digital Library


Mission Statement:
The Byron Herbert Reece Digital Library exists to provide scholars and other interested persons access to information about the Georgia author Byron Herbert Reece. This collection of his letters and photos with information about the farm that was so central to his life will allow deeper understanding of his poetry and novels.

Collection Policy:
The Byron Herbert Reece digital library will collect and make available images, letters to and from Byron Herbert Reece, unpublished manuscripts, drafts of published works and other materials felt to be of interest to persons interested in studying BHR. Images of the farm in its present state and photos of the author and his family will be included. It will also assemble electronic resources for the Reece scholar, including Internet sites. Since English was Reece’s native language, the collection will be in English.

Organization of the Collection:
The collection will be organized by category of materials. The letters bridge the period after WWII to his death, and the photos from the time of his initial publication by Dutton until his death in 1958.

Resource Description:
The collection will be described for access using Dublin Core metadata standards.

Access and Use:
A search engine is not particularly helpful since there is not a great deal of text on the site. One may be added in the future if more materials are added.

Service Features:
Because of the nature of the materials, the contact information for libraries and other interested organizations is included in the digital library.
