Appendix: Index to Detroit Catalog Numbers

The following is an index to the items listed in the descriptive catalog published by the Detroit Public Library in 1955 as a guide to its Walt Whitman exhibition. The exhibit, which commemorated the centennial of the publication of Leaves of Grass, contained manuscripts, books, and association items gathered by Charles E. Feinberg from his Whitman collection. Many of the catalog entries include excerpts or abstracts of the original documents. Form and collation statements, which define the items further according to their physical descriptions, are also provided in the catalog.

The Detroit catalog number (DCN) listed in the index below is followed by a reference to its container number in the Feinberg/Whitman Collection at the Library of Congress. More than one container reference is listed when the original exhibit item contained more than one title or discrete reference listed separately in the finding aid. The index lists catalog entries 1-268. With few exceptions, subsequent entries refer to items located in the Rare Book and Special Collections Division. Items housed in other curatorial divisions of the Library are identified by their locations.
