In selecting exhibits for this on-line exhibition, an attempt has been made to show books which are not only representative of the collection, but also to show the depth of the collection by choosing around particular themes. The nucleus of the Morgan Collection of Children's Books in the Baillieu Library, University of Melbourne, was donated in 1954 by Mr. Frederick Morgan (1878-1978), former City Librarian in Hereford, England and in his retirement Librarian of the Hereford Cathedral Library. The original collection, comprising 1086 items, was gathered over much of his very long life - he lived to the age of 100 . The earliest item in the original collection dates from 1729, the bulk of the collection is from before 1900.
