Historical Background

The David Lampe Collection of archival and book material represents the first holdings obtained under the E.H. Butler Library's "Special Collections of Special Professors" initiative. Dr. Lampe, a native Iowan, earned his PhD from the University of Nebraska, and taught at Buffalo State College for over 35 years. His areas of interest and research range from Medieval to modern poetry. Dr. Lampe's subject expertise is reflected in his donation to E.H. Butler Library. The collection is comprised of two parts, representing Dr. Lampe’s collection of monographs as well as correspondence/subject files.

Contents and Inventory

Monographic Material: The David Lampe Collection is partially comprised of 940+ books of research materials, general interest, and poetry texts, written by American, Australian, Canadian, English, and Irish authors. Many of these books are rare, first editions, and/or signed by the authors. A complete catalogue of holdings maintained by Buffalo State College can be accessed here: The David Lampe Collection

Archival Material: Also included in the donation are over 85 correspondence and subject files, representing Dr. Lampe's work with and study of various local, national, and global poets. These files contain background information, poems and copies of poems and other works, correspondence, as well as notice of the poets' lectures and Dr. Lampe's notes and written introductions of the authors.

These files have been reprocessed in alphabetic order by poet; multiple files have remained distinct, in original order.

Additionally, the collection contains audio and visual recordings of over 100 poets and writers Dr. Lampe invited to Buffalo State College. These recordings are currently being migrated to more stable and usable formats.

Note: Given the on-going nature of donations, the collection and collection guides will be updated frequently.
