A Reading and Reference List on Costume (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Reading and Reference List on CostumeThis list is in part composed of references used in answering ques tions asked of the Reference Department and of references furnished by several of the branch librarians as having been useful in branch reference work. The primary purpose is to furnish a partial guide to the resources of the Brooklyn Public Library on the subject of costume. Completeness has not been attempted. Practically no references to periodicals are included as these are generally available through Poole's Index and the Readers' Guide. Post-cards works of art jewelry and other articles primarily artistic in nature are not included. A few unindexed periodicals especially useful in the study of costume are listed.It is hoped that the list in addition to its use to the patrons of the library may serve as a contribution toward a bibliography of the subject.Almost all the books listed are at the Montague Branch but duplicates of many may be found at the other branches or the books may be obtained through the Interchange Department.This list was prepared two years ago by Mr. Frank K. Walter now vice-director of the New York State Library School while he was Assist ant Reference Librarian of the Brooklyn Public Library. Additions have since been made by the Reference Librarian and the Assistant Reference Librarian of the Brooklyn Public Library.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
