"From the moment he began collecting Walpole
Lefty thought of his books as going eventually to Yale.” So
wrote Lewis in his autobiographical One Man’s Education,
envisioning a “center for eighteenth-century studies
under pleasant circumstances … able to support serious
studies in any aspect of [Walpole’s] time.” The
Library attracts inquiries and visits from students and scholars
around the world and seeks to make it as easy as possible for
them to find the resources they need. Researchers regularly
work with unique primary materials in the Library’s reading
rooms, access its digital surrogates remotely via the web,
and search its growing collection in Yale’s online catalog,
and by doing so live out Lewis’s vision for “Yale
in Farmington.”
