| The Edith
Abbott Memorial Library is home to the Abbott Sisters Research
Center. This center is a collection of books and articles by
and about Edith and Grace Abbott. Items in this center have
been donated by project director John Sorensen, have been collected
over the years by the Library, or were from Edith Abbott’s
own personal library and donated to the Library after her death.
Amateur and professional researchers far and wide are encouraged
to make arrangements to access this center by calling 308-385-5333
or e-mailing refdesk@gi.lib.ne.us. |
