The compiler was the Special Collections Librarian. The origin of the Illinois State University Circus & Related Arts Collection lies principally in the fact that Normal's neighboring city of Bloomington served as winter quarters for a large number of flying acts during the first half of the century. By 1955 a decline in the number of circus acts wintering in Bloomington had begun, and has continued to the present. Because of the interest in the circus lore of the community, Miss Eleanor Welch, formerly Director of Libraries, decided that the development of a circus collection would be an asset to the university and to the community. This book was designed, set in Electra type, and 400 copies were printed on Curtis Tweedweave by Robert Weigel at his private press. The binding was done in Roxite Buckram. The origin of the Illinois State University Circus and Related Arts Collection lies principally in the fact that Normal's neighboring city of Bloomington served as winter quarters for a large number of flying acts during the first half of the century. The history of Bloomington's circus fame properly begins with the fascination of Fred and Howard Green with acts and tricks they had seen performed at the circuses that played the city. By 1955 a decline in the number of circus acts wintering Bloomington had begun. But even though the city's importance in the circus world has diminished, there remains a good deal of interest in the circus lore of the community. Because of this interest, Miss Eleanor Welch, former Director of Libraries, decided that the development of a circus collection would be an asset to the university and to the community. Current books with circus themes were purchased and effort was made to seek circus performers and fans who would be willing to donate to the library any collections they had formed. The book collection had become international in scope. At present, the Circus and Related Arts Collection consists of 5,000 titles and about 100,000 ephemeral items. All the books have been cataloged according to Library of Congress classification. The catalog consists of two sections: a bibliography, followed by an appendix. The illustrations are a representative sample of the enormous amount of circus art in the I.S.U. collection. The nature, age, and size of many of these works made their reproduction a challenge.
