Drew University Library's Willa Cather Collection is an extensive and fully cataloged collection of printed and manuscript material. The collection contains the personal library of the late Frederick B. Adams, former director of the Pierpont Morgan Library, as well as the private collection of Earl and Achsah Brewster, who shared a long friendship with Cather. The collections of Finn and Barbara Morris Caspersen and Yehudi Menuhin are the newest additions to the collection. The call numbers of each book or manuscript (as shown in the finding aid) note the name of the original collector, i.e. Adams, Brewster, Caspersen or Menuhin.
The finding aid (HTML\, PDF\) is arranged by type of material and is divided into several general categories: published material by, owned by, or about Cather; correspondence to, from, or about Cather; typed and manuscript notes and marginalia by and about Cather; photographs; and miscellaneous ephemera. Published material is generally arranged chronologically according to the first publication date. In the case of books, all printings of a given work follow its first listing, arranged by Crane number. Correspondence is arranged chronologically. Notes and marginalia are arranged chronologically by date if known, or by the date of the item into which they were inserted or inscribed. The ephemera is arranged in the same manner.
