A L....--_----' Heritage of Books on Cleveland Cleveland Heritage Program A HERITAGE OF BOOKS: A Selected Bibliography of Books and Related Materials on Cleveland to be found at the Cleveland Public Library by Matthew F. Browarek CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY 1984 Cover photograph: Hiram House Station C 1920 Archives. Cleveland Public Library PREFACE The Cleveland Heritage Program was born out of the conviction that the city of Cleve land possesses unique qualities worth capturing in pictures and words. In designing the program, Professor Thomas Campbell of Cleveland State University and I were prompted less by a desire to evoke nostalgia than to retrieve fugitive material for the benefit of scholars whose work will help us to understand how and why our city is what it is. If the uses of history are to serve the present generation, then the Cleveland Heritage Program has done its work well. Funded primarily by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the program was carried on over a two-year period from 1981 to 1983. Important supple mentary grants were made by the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation and Nathan L. Dauby Fund. Also, the Cleveland Heritage Program greatly benefited from the cooperation of the following institutions: the Cleveland Public Schools, the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cuyahoga Community College, WVIZ-TV and the College of Urban Affairs of Cleveland State University. Under Professor Campbell and his many able assistants, diligent research recovered valuable artifacts, photographs and oral histories relating to several of Cleveland's neigh borhoods. The fruits of that scholarship are preserved in publications of the Cleveland Heritage Program. Dr. Edward M. Miggins has prepared and edited The Birth ofModern Cleveland, 1865-1929; The People and Neighborhoods of Cleveland, 1865-1980; and A Guide To Studying Neighborhoods and Resources on Cleveland. Matthew F. Browarek, a librarian on the staff of the Cleveland Public Library, has developed a bibliography of the Library's books and materials that pertain to Cleveland. Photographic materials for these publications have been assembled by Richard E. Karberg. Because the Cleveland Public Library is integral to the history of the city, the Library's sponsorship of these printed materials partially redeems our obligation to be faithful to our heritage and to insure that those who follow us do not forget those who preceded us. Dr. Ervin J. Gaines Director of the Cleveland Public Library INTRODUCTION This bibliography includes both fictional and nonfictional works concerning Cleveland, its people, neighborhoods and institutions. While it is a fairly complete listing of books housed within the collections of the Cleveland Public Library, it is not an exhaustive listing of all publications. Excluded for the most part are journal articles and governmental re ports. A few exceptions in these categories have been cited because of their importance as resource materials. Mr. Browarek has conveniently organized the bibliography by subject and has provided excellent notes on the listings and on supplemental material. Those inexperienced in library research will be especially grateful for his directions on locating information within the Main Library. A Heritage ofBooks provides a welcome resource for all who seek more knowledge of our city and its people. While it should be especiallly helpful to teachers, its comprehen siveness also makes it an excellent tool for academic research. On behalf of the Cleveland Heritage Program I would like to thank the many librarians who offered their advice and assistance in the preparation of this publication. Its use in broadening the public's appreciation of Cleveland history will fulfill one of the educational goals envisioned by the Library's Director, Ervin J. Gaines for the Cleveland Heritage Program. Thomas F. Campbell Project Director Cleveland Heritage Program TABLE OF CONTENTS Architecture and City Planning .
