About this Collection

The George Kelley Paperback and Pulp Fiction Collection is comprised of well over 25,000 pulp fiction books and magazines. Dr. George Kelley donated the material to the University at Buffalo Libraries in 1994. The Collection has been enhanced by the large number of gifts of books and magazines from Dr. Thomas Shaw and Margarete Shaw. The origins of the collection date back to George Kelley's childhood.

The Collection has been cataloged and you can search the collection by using the BISON Catalog. The Collection is housed in the Special Collections Research Room in 420 Capen Hall. The Collection is open for research but must be used in house. Please use the request form for faster retrieval of material. Requests for photocopies are not accepted.
