Do you have collections related to Edgar Allan Poe's life and work?
Answer
Special Collections and Archives does not have extensive documentation regarding Edgar Allan Poe's life or literary works.
At UBalt Special Collections and Archives we have a collection titled the Edgar Allan Poe Society Records (R0098-POE). The records in this collection describe the functions and work of the Poe Society as an organization, not the the writings or biography of Edgar Allan Poe or his family.
- The Digital Exhibit of the Edgar Allan Poe Collection at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, MD includes letters written to Poe's family members, photographs, memorabilia, and other materials
- The Lucy Holmes Balderston album at the Maryland Center for History and Culture (previously the Maryland Historical Society) contains poems written by Edgar Allan Poe. The Center also holds a Portrait of Poe.
- The Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum also provides useful resources
