and ERBzine's Bob Hyde Tribute present THE BOB HYDE COLLECTION POSTERS ~ COMICS ~ COLLECTIBLES 
Clarence "Bob" Hyde June 25, 1925 - April 7, 2006 www.ERBzine.com/hyde It was Bob Hyde's wish that his enormous ERB collection be donated to The Ekstrom Library Rare Books Department at the University of Louisville - which, under the direction of George McWhorter, has the world's largest institutional collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs books and memorabilia. One of the highlights of the 2007 Burroughs Convention hosted by George McWhorter in Louisville was the dedication of this collection. Although the one million items in this collection have not yet been fully catalogued, Mr. McWhorter chose some of the rarest and most interesting items for public viewing in the Ekstrom Rare Books display room. We start our tour of this display with some of the inscribed photos that Bob amassed over the years. Note: Since the display items are under glass and are illuminated with decorative and uneven spot lighting, the quality of the photo images presented here is somewhat uneven. |
