Acknowledgments

The exhibition was co-curated by Charles B. McNamara and Sarah E. Fass. Charles McNamara wrote the introduction and collection descriptions for this Web site; Nicholas Allen of the Department of English and Comparative Literature contributed the introductory essay on Irish literature. The curators would like to acknowledge their debt to John Atkinson, April Brewer, and Joshua Vossler, whose assistance in the researching of this exhibition was invaluable. Joshua Vossler was particularly helpful in assisting the curators with the preparation of the checklist at the end of this Web site. Editorial and/or logistical support were provided by Susan Bales, Libby Chenault, Roberta Engleman, Tanya Fortner, Sandi Honnold, and Jan Paris. Alison S. Duncan produced the graphic design for this Web site.
