Dime Novels and Penny Dreadfuls

| Dime Novels Main Site |

This collection consists of over 8,000 individual items, and includes long runs of major American dime novel series, and strong holdings of story papers and British penny dreadfuls. The collections is open to all researchers but consultation of many of these items is limited due to their fragile nature. Full text consultation and photocopying is determined on an item-by-item basis.

To determine the box number for a particular title in the collection, or to see holdings, images, and other information about the collection, go to the main Dime Novels and Penny Dreadfuls web site. (This site is also available through a link in the Socrates record.) After consulting the main site, go to the SearchWorks record (click here) to electronically request boxes from the list at the bottom of the record.
