The Lord Collection

Abstract

Thanks to the generosity of their sons Nathan and Mark, together with the support of their families, the personal libraries of Albert Bates Lord and Mary Louise Lord have been donated to the Center for Studies in Oral Tradition and the University of Missouri-Columbia Libraries. This remarkable gift of books, articles, and material culture items will be acknowledged as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the CSOT and the journal Oral Tradition, which will include the 25th Lord and Parry Lecture on February 10, 2011.
