Note

Charles Olson began to study the life and works of Herman Melville while a graduate student at Wesleyan University in the early 1930s. Olson located volumes from Melville's library in a grand-daughter's home, in a private collector's hands, or on a public library's shelves, and carefully transcribed onto 5 x 7-inch note cards bibliographic information on the volume as well as the content and location of Melville's annotations and reading marks. These notecards and related Olson manuscripts comprise the Charles Olson Melville Project.
