Event details

By invitation, the SFPUL and the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence (RGME) will visit the varied collections of Dr. Steven Lomazow, at home in West Orange, New Jersey. Assembled over fifty years, they include an extraordinary collection of American magazines, pulp fiction, and other materials. Some of them have been displayed and published, including at The Grolier Club in 2020 (with a catalogue and virtual exhibition) and in other volumes. We have the opportunity to see these original works and others in context and to engage in conversation with them and their erudite collector.

As an introduction to his collection, Dr. Lomazow will share highlights, impulses, and discoveries in the course of his collecting for over more than fifty years, then describe how his varied collections are arranged in groups and by sizes, each set out alphabetically. With this guide, we might explore the collections, in their various rooms, and have the opportunity to examine selected materials and ask questions for further disussion and enrichment of knowledge.

Transportation and luncheon repast will be provided, and we will meet at the Princeton Train Station.

We will assemble at the Lomazow home at 11:00 am EST. (If you plan to travel there on your own, the address can be provided following registration.)
