Eve Bunting will be the keynote speaker, and Lois Lenski's son Steven J. Covey will speak on behalf of his mother. During this 50th anniversary year of the Kerlan Collection and the 25th anniversary of the Kerlan Friends, the Kerlan Award will also recognize Professor Emeritus Edward B. Stanford and Professor Emeritus Norine Odland for their special and exceptional efforts on behalf of the Kerlan Collection.
This Kerlan Friends event is supported in part by publishers Clarion Books, HarperCollins and Harcourt Brace., University departments, and the Minnesota Humanities Commission.
The Kerlan Collection has original manuscripts for 34 of Eve Bunting's titles including Smoky Night (Harcourt Brace, 1994), Going Home (HarperCollins, 1996) and So Far From the Sea (Clarion, 1998), as well as 119 books. Lois Lenski (1893-1974) donated manuscripts for 12 titles including Prairie School (Lippincott, 1951) and illustrations for 50 titles, including Alphabet People (Harper, 1928), as well as 93 books. The Red Balloon Bookshop will sell books before and after the luncheon.
The Kerlan Award event will begin at 11 A.M. at the Holiday Inn Metrodome, 1500 Washington Avenue South, Cedar and Washington Avenues at 7 Corners, on the University of Minnesota's West Bank campus. A parking ramp is located next door to the hotel. To attend please use the reservation form in this newsletter. For further information, please call (612) 624-4576.
Upon Kerlan's accidental death in 1963, University librarian Dr. Edward B. Stanford traveled to Washington, D. C., and personally packed the books, manuscripts, and illustrations bequeathed to the University. He appointed staff to process and catalog the Collection and later created a full-time curatorial position. The curator continues Dr. Kerlan's collecting strategy by identifying potential author and illustrator donors whose work is apt to be studied and exhibited, such as author Eve Bunting. She donated thirty-four manuscripts, which have been studied by Margaret Phinney and others.
Professor Norine Odland scheduled classes to visit the Collection and encouraged graduate students to pursue research projects using the Collection. When she was a doctoral student, Rebecca Rapport, for example, reviewed letters from children to Marguerite Henry. Dr. Odland also arranged for the guest speaker at each College of Education Book Week banquet, including Bette Greene, and later for the Chase Lecture, including Ashley Bryan, to spend some time at the Kerlan Collection. Gerald Barnaby was one of the more than hundred student workers who retrieved books and treasures for these and other guest authors and artists, many of whom later contributed manuscripts and art to the Collection.
For the 25th anniversary, Professor Odland served on the planning committee that recommended three new ventures--an annual Kerlan Award; the Kerlan Collection newsletter; and a support group, the Kerlan Friends. The Friends hosted an anniversary tea to announce the first three Kerlan Award recipients, Marie Hall Ets, Elizabeth Coatsworth, and Marguerite Henry. The committee sent award plaques to each, and the next year, there were sufficient funds to sponsor the visit of the recipient to the Kerlan Collection.
The Kerlan Friends then expanded their mission; in addition to sponsoring the Kerlan Award; they created portfolios for loans to the schools, marketed greeting cards and posters, exhibited recent acqusitions at the annual meeting, and supported preservation projects. Dr. Stanford, now retired, has been an active volunteer.Presidents of the Kerlan Friends include former student Gerald Barnaby, now an attorney, and Dr. Rebecca Rapport, who teaches children's literature at the University of Minnesota.
Celebratory events in 1999, will bring together those who have contributed to the Kerlan Collection and the Kerlan Friends. On April 10th, the first of these events will acknowledge the generous contributions of unique materials and efforts made by Eve Bunting, Lois Lenski, Dr. Norine Odland, and Dr. Edward B. Stanford.
