Welsh, John F., Collection of Libertarian and Individualist Thought Finding Aid for the John F. Welsh Collection of Libertarian and Individualist Thought Title The John F. Welsh Collection of Libertarian and Individualist Thought Repository Pittsburg State University, Special Collections & University Archives, Pittsburg, Kansas Collection Size Approximately 750 titles Scope and Content The John F. Welsh Collection of Libertarian and Individualist Thought consists of books, periodicals, and pamphlets that discuss various aspects of the history and theory of individualist and egoist anarchism. Since its origin in 1987, the Collection has expanded to include literature on Ayn Rand and Objectivism, the Austrian School of Economics, Libertarianism, and the egoist thought of Max Stirner. Dr. Welsh's initial advocacy and continuing contributions to the Collection have produced the greatly expanded "Liberty Library," which houses not only the Welsh Special Collection, but also other collections donated by authors and collectors of libertarian, individualist, and anarchist literature.
