When this collection was originally received between 1962 and
1966, it was accessioned into individual author collections. In 1997, all
Scorpion Press materials which had not been cataloged in the interim were
reassembled in order to accurately reflect their origin as well as aid
contextual research concerning the press and their publications.
The following author collections still contain Scorpion Press
materials and may be accessed through the card catalog:
- Hobdell, Roger
- Lessing, Doris
- Logue, Christopher
- Miller, Henry
- Porter, Peter
The following author collections still contain Scorpion Press
materials and may be accessed through archival inventories:
- Blakeston, Oswell
- Nye, Robert
