Background

Scope and content:

The bulk of the collection was purchased in 1968, with some later additions from Toole-Stott and his estate, ca. 1972-1983, and other small purchases to ca. 1984.

There is some correspondence to and from Maugham, but the collection primarily contains research files and drafts of Toole-Stott's bibliographies on Maugham's writings.

The collection also includes nearly 300 first and signed editions of Maugham's works, which have been cataloged separately and which can be searched on Pegasus, the UCSB Libraries online catalog.
