Sobre mimSomeone once called me, "one of the world's great living collectors." My first husband, Donald Hyde, and I amassed one of the greatest collections of Samuel Johnson in private hands. This collection is now at Harvard. And thanks to Harvard, you can view this collection on Library Thing. Our other collections will gradually be included on Library Thing as well.
You can learn more about me by reading my Obituary by Nicholas Barker

You should also read a talk about me that LTer moibibliomaniac presented before the Florida Bibliophile Society in 2006.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaThanks to Harvard, our Samuel Johnson Collection is now cataloged on Library Thing. However, a glitch developed in the export of the MARC Records, and Provenance lists of multiple copies of identical editions were combined. Only the first 100 listings have been corrected. Provenance and other copy specific information can be found by searching the Hollis Classic Full Catalogue for the title of the work.

The collection itself is at the Houghton Library, Harvard University. This collection contains a number of books from the libraries of Samuel Johnson and James Boswell. It also contains books by and about Johnson's contemporaries, including James Boswell and Mrs. Thrale Piozzi.
Here's an online exhibit of the collection:
A Monument More Durable Than Brass: The Donald & Mary Hyde Collection of Dr. Samuel Johnson"

John Overholt had the pleasure of cataloging our Samuel Johnson Collection at Harvard. He shared his pleasure in a catablog about the treasures he cataloged.

Thanks to the British Library, our Oscar Wilde Collection is now cataloged on Library Thing . Although primarily pertaining to Oscar Wilde, the collection also includes a small number of books pertaining to George Bernard Shaw. The collection was bequeathed to the British Library in 2003. Andrea Lloyd,Cataloger, 19th Century British Material, had the pleasure of cataloging this collection at the British Library. Her splendid "500 field notes" can be viewed in the Comments Section of the Library Thing listings.

In addition to our Samuel Johnson and Oscar Wilde Collections, we also had a Henry Fielding Collection, a Japanese Collection, an English Drama Collection, including Shakespeare, a Fine Binding Collection, a Forgery Collection, a Sports Collection, an Architecture Collection, an Autograph Collection, and a variety of Books About Books and books from other miscellaneous genres. Library Thing catalogers, moibibliomaniac and larxol, hope to catalog as many of our collections as they can. Who knows? Maybe they can recreate our Four Oaks Library online!

Our Japanese Collection was sold at auction at Christie's, New York in October, 1988 to benefit the Pierpont Morgan Library. larxol is using his knowledge of the Japanese language to catalog this collection on Library Thing.

Our English Drama Collection, including Shakespeare, was sold at Christie's, New York in April, 2004. moibibliomaniac is currently cataloging this collection on Library Thing.

Gabriel Austin, our librarian at Four Oaks Library, provided moibibliomaniac, with a short list of some of the books in our Architecture Collection, and in our George Bernard Shaw Collection.

Additionally, moibibliomaniac will catalog our books which are either in the libraries of private collectors, or in the catalogs of Oak KNoll Books, Brooklyn bookseller, Joe Maynard, and other booksellers.

If you'd like to help catalog our library, or have any questions, please contact LTer, moibibliomaniac.
