H.D. on Flickr

September 8, 2009

A scrapbook complied by modernist poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) can now be viewed in its entirety on Flickr: H. D. Scrapbook. Scholars are invited to tag, annotate, and comment on these images using the tools available through Flickr (free Flickr registration is required to access these tools: http://www.flickr.com/).
Detailed descriptions of the poet’s literary archive (YCAL MSS 24) and various related materials in the Beinecke’s collections–including the archives of Bryher (Gen Mss 97), Ezra Pound (YCAL MSS 43), William Carlos Williams (YCAL MSS 116), Viola Baxter Jordan (YCAL MSS 175) and others–can be found by searching the Library’s Finding Aid Database and Orbis, the Library’s catalog for books and printed materials.  Images from the collections are available through the Beinecke’s Digital Library.
