The Warden Memorial Equine Collection focuses on the cultural history of horses and horsemanship. It includes books, periodicals, pamphlets, photographs, research files, letters, and other materials assembled by Warden and other collectors as well as new acquisitions.
Four other equine collections complement and extend the Warden Collection’s scholarly potential: the Gilbert McWilliams Orr Papers, William J. McGill Papers, Ethel Rankin Papers, and the Joan Hunt Collection. These consist of periodicals, photographs, correspondence, personal documents, and other materials.
The Joan Hunt Collection includes between 800 and 1,000 books, chiefly published in the twentieth century and represents a working equestrian training facility library.
