Reading Program, 1930s
The Reading Program, which was of special importance during the early years of the EMED (1929-1934), has its own category. The program involved some 460 volunteer readers from more than 200 colleges and universities in the United States and elsewhere, who collected quotations from, primarily, 16th- and 17th- works on a variety of topics; their reports make up a large part of this category. The following materials are arranged topically within a chronological framework.
