Barnett's Accession Journal, Shakespeare
Creator
J.D. Barnett
Description
This is a journal created by J.D. Barnett to track and organize books he acquired. Barnett's collection process was extensive and thorough. Almost every book he collected and donated contains his signature, his bookplate, and a number that corresponds to a journal entry.
The accession journals organize books by subject headings, and include the author's name, book title, publisher, date of publication, dimensions of the book, notes about binding and condition, and the number assigned to the book.
Barnett uses abbreviations and codes to note location (e.g., T = Toronto; B = Boston; L = London), date (e.g., /31 = 1831), and binding (e.g., 1/2 b = half bound; fb = full bound; cursive lowercase Ls = limp vellum).
